You got me there, I was .2+% off on my rough estimation. Have a good day man

This u?

According to Mozilla, roughly 2/5 (that's 40%) of its expenses were to pay leadership.

Unless "paying leadership" now includes real estate costs, marketing, legal, consultants, etc....

Not sure why you're so wound up on this, you read the financial statement wrong which isn't a huge deal, not sure why you're so adamant to argue this point

Sure! So take a look at their Form 990 which details the executive pay. The total was $9.9M which is 1.9% of total expenses. Speaking of the CEO specifically, their comp was $6.25M which is 1.2% of total expenses

Dude, take two steps back and try to make sense of your own claim - that $197M somehow equates to executive pay and the CEO, the highest paid person, makes $7-9M... Do they have the largest executive team ever and they're all making the same as the CEO?

Learn how to read and understand a financial statement and stop trying to claim that G&A = executive pay

That isn't executive pay lol "Management and General" includes real estate costs, all general.operating expenses, all admin staff (think HR, Legal, finance, accounting)- basically all back office

I fear you have no idea how to read a financial statement

Total expenses for 2023 were $496 million (plus income tax puts it at $511 million). Total salary expenses were $328 million, approximately 66% of all expenses. On the financial statement, there is absolutely no mention of executive compensation so no clue where you're pulling this line that executive compensation made up 40% of all expenses.

Nowhere in this financial statement does it state leadership / executive compensation just that overall payroll expenses for 2023 were $328 million - I fear you're misreading the financial statement

If by dramatically you mean by <1% then sure. Their problems are much larger than executive compensation

You've got it backwards. It's the threat of anti-trust against Google's ownership of Chrome that puts Firefox at risk. Google has pretty much always supported / paid Firefox either to have Google as the default search or more direct support to stave off the anti-trust claims.

However, if Google has to sell / spin-off chrome, there is no longer as big of a reason to fund Mozilla and that's why you're seeing Moz scramble to find new ways to find funding. This AI push is no doubt a desperate attempt to lure in investor dollars as they're reading the room and see that their current funds will likely disappear in the coming years

Edit: spelling

The ADP numbers for November have us at losing 30k in November though they had us up in October

For databases, many like postgres have a ping / ready command you can use to ensure it's up and not have the overhead of an actual query! Redis is the same way (I feel like pg and redis health checks covers a lot of the common stack patterns)
