I think most people are upset that Mozilla went from a CEO with a compensation[1] of ~800K and decent market share to one earning around 7mln but with the scraps of market share that we have now. Nobody can say if Eich would have done things differently, but I guess we'll never know.

- starkparker 3y agoSerious question because a few more minutes of Googling than I should've taken couldn't answer it: did Baker set her own salary, or did the Mozilla board collectively set it? Is any of that released by Mozilla? Laura Chambers, the interim CEO, is listed on Mozilla's website as "member of the compensation committee". Karim Lakhani's chair of the compensation committee and has been on the board since 2016. So I'm assuming the same people who decided to pay Baker $7M/year are still there?
- wmf 3y agoCEO pay is always set by the board (the compensation committee is usually a subset of the board). It may be the case that the CEO demands certain comp and the board composed of their friends grants that request, but it's still the board.
