Nothing much changed in terms of % here YoY: still almost 50% of salaries going to management, ~25% of total company expenditure. I wonder if Mitchell has given herself another enormous raise on top of last year's 5 million.
A few folk commenting on Mozilla's dependence on Google for revenue; it would certainly be easier to reason about reducing that dependence if their expenditure was a little more transparent: killing various projects as cost cutting measures seems odd in the context of their published management salary figures.

- SiempreViernes 3y agoI don't think just reading page 5* in the auditors report and picking out "Management and general" as the total comp to management is going to give an accurate view of what the chair is getting. Something more complicated is going on, for instance if you look at the tax filings, page 10, you find that total functional expenses is 30 million, with leadership making up 6.5 of those. On page 7 you can Mitchell that is getting about 7 million total (but not from Mozilla itself apparently) while the rest of the board is only getting around 350 k each. Also note that on page 2 they put their fellowship and awards programs under the headline "Leadership development", an expense to the tune of 19 million. *All page numbers refer to the number written on the pages in the pdf.
- pseudalopex 3y agoMozilla Corporation paid Baker's salary. The tax forms were for Mozilla Foundation only. The annual report combined all Mozilla entities.
- pseudalopex 3y agoHow did you get almost 50% for management when the category including management was 39%? They spent $283,739,000 on salaries and benefits. $110,767,000 was in the management and general category.
- lucideer 3y agoYou're right - my at a glance ballpark math put it closer to 50% than 33% but looks like it's on the other end of that spectrum. Can't edit now but... still high.

- lucideer 3y agoI'm not aware of any comparable companies.
- pseudalopex 3y agoWhat would be a reasonable percentage then? And how to determine it without a frame of reference?
