That's fine, and if people decided that, I would respect that decision. In which case they could resign, and Mozilla get people willing to work for $500,000.

> hey engineers, how about cutting your salary to $60k?

The problem is you might severely limit your talent pool, to a much greater extent than a cap of $500k would do.

Maybe Mozilla should hire more people in those places, if they need to do so to save money.

Exactly. Firing so many people means it's time to reconsider the structure and ambition of the company,and that includes considering whether to compensate the ceo at the level of charity ceos or at the level of successful tech ceos.

They did hire from places with cheaper labor cost, such as Taiwan. They still got axed.
