In 2020, after returning to the position of CEO, her salary had risen to over $3 million 2021, her salary rose again to over $5 million, 2022 her salary rose again to nearly $7 million In August of the same year the Mozilla Corporation laid off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues, After previously laying off roughly 70 in January (prior to the pandemic).

So, people were stuck at their homes, with no other things to do than engaging electronically with the rest of the world, but this, somehow created problems for Mozilla, a company that builds a fucking web browser?

  Are there penalties for ceos that knowingly issue false statements? Lots of execs lie these days.

    Only if you mislead the investors, in a publicly traded company

To be fair, she did a great job for who's actually paying (Google)

  This is the correct answer here. The CEO blood-boilingly doesn't make sense, if looking at the organization as a technological steward of Firefox and maybe related technologies. But the CEO and Firefox are just there, year after year. So maybe it's not the organization that's wrong, but rather the way of looking at them. So, as you say, if one shifts the perspective, to look at Google, using what's pocket change to them to keep a competitor alive, in order to keep them out of anti-trust and continue to let them dictate how the web is shaped, it suddenly makes sense.

* ..her salary had risen to over $3 million 2021, her salary rose again to over $5 million, 2022 her salary rose again to nearly $7 million .. In August of the same year the Mozilla Corporation laid off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues * This is the plague that is currently overtaking all large corporations, and I can't help but think the workers are going to revolt, and they're going to do it soon. The UAW strike seemed very tame compared to what is to come.

  Most workers actually welcome these practices because they're led to believe that they themselves could one day end up in that chair. Of course the system is rigged but they don't know that.

    I don't think most workers have fallen for that scam, rather that most workers feel that they're powerless to change things.

      If literally everyone stopped going to work for even a month things would drastically change. The workers hold a lot more power than they realize, if only they would organize and untie in the common goal.

        If everyone could even just afford to not work for a month things would already be much better, but that's why they keep the masses living paycheck to paycheck and why the very idea of UBI and freely accessible healthcare terrifies companies. I'm not 100% convinced UBI is viable or even desirable, but I know that companies really don't want people to be free to quit jobs they hate and companies don't want workers being secure and comfortable while they look for a new job that better meets their needs.

IIRC, didn't they layoff the rust engineers who did all that work on quantum?

  Rust code was a small part of Quantum. Did you mean Servo?
