hi, do you have a breakdown or some stats for this?

Here is Mozilla's 2021 Audited Financial Statement [PDF]:

not him. but there's this person whose paycheck is 7digits. pretty sure the person in question doesn't know a lick about rendering engine or other nitty gritty details of how browser works.

Am I misreading the financial statement linked by your sibling comment? It looks like they spent in the $250,000 or so range on all salaries combined in a given year, but maybe I’m misreading it.

It's in thousands so it should be $250,000,000? I don't know that I'm reading it right either.

You are reading it right.

Remember how the new CEO upon joining fired 250 employees and simultaneously upped her own pay to 2.5 million? (Its much more now)

And it is nothing remarkable compared to any other tech company CEO's salary. Sure, shitty thing to do, but to smear Firefox's name over it..

I am saying the IT workers receiving low pay or being outright fired while non-tech gets paid more has precedent under the current CEO. Besides its not Firefox thats being smeared, its the CEO who is, and should be smeared for acts such as this. Firefox the software is still mostly fine.
