#2Not even an acknowledgement or mention of the over 250 people laid off at Mozilla over the last year? Yikes.

#3I would have trusted this more if she had discussed the layoffs that happened recently. From what I understand, it was an event that shook the engineers that worked there and there was some controversy over how it was handled. Surely it was something that she had to deal with last year. (If I’m wrong about the assessment of the importance of that situation, please comment/downvote away)

#4> And perhaps the most rewarding.
Not surprising, given she got a pay raise after sacking much of Mozilla's engineers amid continued declining relevance.

#5I thought there was going to be some hint on their plan for independence from Google's annual $400mm injection. Alas not today.

#6He did not say anything about mass layoffs and the end of the research department. Who did he profit from the purchase of the pocket? Who made money out? And the tall salaries of it? This CEO is a shame. She is destroying Mozilla.

as long as the salary of CEO depends on something, you bet they will do anything to not change it !! It has been downhill long since these bean counters had been shilling against this community

#8Firefox market share down 85%, during the same period the executives get a 400% raise. Then 250 employees are fired.
It feels like it's just the top brass getting as much money they can before the ship sinks at this point.

#9>Above all, this year has reinforced for me that sometimes a deeply held mission requires massive wrenching change in order to be realized.
Yeah, like firing your researchers. What good was that Servo thing anyways? Don't need no PhDs when you can write endless self-aggrandizing blog posts while increasing your own pay.

#10It fired people with high technical capacity who worked for the well-being of the web. People who worked at Rust and Servo. And he still has the courage to celebrate.
