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