    Translation: business-types are salty about Wikipedia not toeing the line on the fiction that executive pay “needs” to be obscene in order to “attract talent.”

      They don’t like it when real life counters their narrative, and this shows that corporations can pay reasonable salaries to their executives.

      I still think the “low” salary of Wikimedia is obscene.

      There is no way even that figure is proportionate to what these people actually do day to day.

        700k? For being in charge of one of the biggest websites in history?

        That doesn’t seem awful at all.

        And you know what they do day to day because you’re who again?

          You realize that YOU also do not know what they do, right? You’re assuming, just in the other direction. Fucking pathetic assuming morons, the lot of executive defenders.

            Maybe I’m mistaken, but I haven’t seen that person assume anything. They just asked who the person was that would make them an expert on the subject. Pretty reasonable question

            In fact, the only person I see making assumptions is you. You’re assuming that the person you replied to was making assumptions.
