* ..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.

        Oh for sure, it would be a massive upheaval, and a lot of people can't afford to do it. If they want things to get better, they have to do it anyway.

      In companies actively developing or making products, sure. In the case of Mozilla? Everyone can leave for months and nothing would look amiss - the occasional marketing puff piece about privacy can be ChatGPT'd and critical browser issues outsourced to contractors.

They should revolt and this management "culture" of severely inflated compensation is decadent to the core. Especially since a CEO doesn't really create value at a company like Mozilla, nor are executive decisions too relevant. Not saying Mozilla is in an easy position, but everyone could do her job without significantly influencing business results.
