Thank you. I have often thought that leading a shining beacon like Mozilla should and would be done by a previously successful executive who doesn't need the money and would like a challenge. Compensation would be $1/year, everlasting respect, and a true legacy to leave behind. But that's just my vision of panacea I suppose. I respect Mitchell Baker's history at Mozilla but is it time for a change? reference: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/ edit: changed phrasing and tone

She's only been CEO for roughly a year now, and your hope that someone would do that work for free is unrealistic.

    Sorry, it does seem far harsher than I intended it, I'll change it. People often have extremely idealistic views of Mozilla that puts then in a position where they can do no right, and I'll end up debating that idealism while ignoring what was said.

      No worries. I understand that his is complex topic and I am coming to it with little knowledge. The reason I thought she had been CEO for years is that I saw in the official bio that she was a co-founder and CEO. I didn't realize the timeline. I should probably learn a lot more prior to making statements like I had previously about change. I also do have the baggage of an anti-administrative bloat bias/agenda which I am may be applying here inappropriately. I was just really disapointed with some of the teams that were removed like Security. I know that money has to come from somewhere and seeing exec compensation go up at the same time was a hard pill to swallow.

        >. I know that money has to come from somewhere and seeing exec compensation go up at the same time was a hard pill to swallow. The last year we have executive salaries from is 2018, while those cuts were in 2020. I suspect executive compensation also fell sharply, I know the number of executives is lower.

I also hope that they wear a black costume and fight crime at night. But all we get are police and skilled people who want to be paid what they're worth.
