This is fantastic. That said, Mozilla should really reconsider their own CEO too.

Are you referring to the foundation president Mark Surman or the corporation CEO Laura Chambers? She seems to be an interim position holder, so I guess whatcha referring to?

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Laura. Her past affiliations are concerning. I'm aware she's seated on an interim position, but I can't imagine that there weren't any better candidates.

[-] homoludens@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

What exactly did she do that is concerning?

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ok, that's why she's interim and they're looking for someone else.

Pretty sure he's saying there should be no ultimate head. Which...umm...if you get rid of CEO then someone below them is in charge and then you just keep cutting people until nobody is left lol

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

That's not at all what I said. You're conflating my comment with that of someone else.

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like for the most part, at least for big decisions, the corporation answers to the foundation which is more of a commitee anyway. Maybe they're kept more separate than that, but that's the impression that I got.

They should not have a CEO, period. Useless do-nothing job.

It's always funny to see someone who thinks they know how it works but in reality has no clue whatsoever how it works.

[-] halva@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

how the hell do you expect to run a company (any company of any sort, non-profit included) without a proper legal representative

[-] 0xD@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

What do you think that job consists of? Lol
