Since you ask me: a CEO is the public representative of the company. It's also their job to shape the company's directions and values.

- sanxiyn 13y agoEich doesn't seem interested in shaping Mozilla's value to be anti-LGBT. I am an atheist, but I am okay with theistic CEOs as long as they don't try to shape the company's value to be theistic. I do have a problem if CEO wants company-wide religious ceremony.
- hamax 13y agoWhat about a theistic CEO who would found a campaign against atheistic marriage?
- sanxiyn 13y agoWhat about a theistic colleague who would fund a campaign against atheistic marriage? (More appropriate analogy would be someone who would fund the goal of establishing a national religion.) Will I refuse to work with such colleagues? If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah as a CEO, but okay as a colleague, this doesn't seem to help depriving the campaign blah from being funded (as long as someone didn't plan to increase donation from increased remuneration as a CEO). If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah both as a CEO and a colleague, I am not sure I support that position. The main point being, while setting company-wide policy is greatly helped by being CEO, funding campaigns is less so.
