A lot of people pointing out that the sudden scrutiny of executive compensation at Mozilla is driven by someone with an ulterior motive, and that's good information to have.

But, look. That is not a reason to DEFEND a CEO being paid $7 million. The reason Lunduke zeroed in on this is because it is ACTUALLY DISGUSTING AND HE KNOWS PEOPLE WILL BE BOTHERED BY IT. When surveyed about CEO compensation, people say a good ratio is less than 5:1.

The Ideal CEO-to-Employee Pay Ratio? Much Lower Than You Think

Recently, a CEO told us something along the lines of this: “quote” I am trying to set a bit of a frame for a remuneration conversation—for myself & others.

There's not a CEO in the world doing $7 million worth of work. Saying this is in line with exec compensation elsewhere is not a defense, it's an indictment. Nor is gender equity in pay an argument when ALL execs are overpaid and where pay equity is worst is at the entry level and among the precariat.

Seriously, stop trying to justify a $7 million salary. Executive compensation is a PROBLEM, and while it's nothing specific to Mozilla, you can say this without pretending it's healthy.
