It's amazing how much you guys are ripping apart a CEO who did something, what, 6 years ago at this point? Wasn't there a shit storm when this happened this first time? I guess I'm not sure why people are giving him flak again. It's unfortunate that the first time, he tied it to himself & Mozilla the organization; that sets a worse tone than him becoming CEO.
He doesn't hate you, he just put his money where his mouth was at the time & was probably trying to get support for Mozilla in other avenues.
Nowhere has anyone said how he treats said people in the organization. Is he condescending? Is he a jerk? If not, move on with your life. Don't quit your job & wimp out because you don't understand that people can change.
- Osmose 13y agoHe did not tie it to Mozilla; rather, as part of California's laws for political donations, you must state who your employer is. His blog post on the matter (https://brendaneich.com/2012/04/community-and-diversity/ https://brendaneich.com/2012/04/community-and-diversity/) makes it very clear that Mozilla had nothing to do with the donation and the listing of Mozilla was purely for legal requirements.
- darksim905 13y agoAh, thanks for the clarification. Is that just a way to tell where someone's affiliation might be or why they may donate to a particular cause?
