I'm not sure I understand why establishing social values shouldn't be a vital component of any organization, particularly a non-profit organization dedicated to equality and openness, that employs a large number of people and relationships with the public and any number of third-parties? I'm actually not sure it's operationally possible to ignore them as a large public organization. Further, how much time and resources do you think it really takes to identify and define a code of values? Seems like it wouldn't necessarily require the full-time focus of even one member of staff and the very occasional meeting.
Right. They can choose to do whatever they want, it's their call.
My point is Mozilla has pretty clearly been in some tough straits for a while now trying to remain relevant. Now they are having to lay people off.
In my opinion, they have bigger issues to worry about as a corporation than social values, etc.
But also I'm just a random nobody on the internet, so what's it really matter?
