It seems to me that they have lots of cash available and are financially able to “do the right thing.”
Firing people is not fun and is emotionally difficult. I would love to give 1.5x salary but there’s usually some controller restricting me to something I don’t like but can’t change.
Wikimedia doesn’t have a duty to maximize shareholder equity and they have tons of money, so they can. I wonder what else they spend similarly on.
I typically donate to wikimedia and behavior like this makes me rethink. How many more people need to donate to allow these people their money?
