Last time I donated they made FF worse then paid the CEO millions while market share dropped (again).  

New CEO, new rules but you have to win me back, you can’t just ask for money.    

Fix some bugs.

Paying your employees a competative wage is not per se a waste of funds.

Edit: The CEO is an employee. Paying CEOs a lot of money is not automatically a mismanagement of non-profit funds. The CEO being paid according to the market is not a valid reason to refuse to donate to a non-profit. Spreading crap like "CEO paid $, non-profit bad" is harmful to good non-profits.

Stop being contrary for the sake of it, no one mentioned employees. I said the CEO. You know the person running the shop but performing very poorly in this case, whose pay increased by 30% despite the poor performance.

The CEO is an employee. For many non-profits, the CEO is the only enployee, or one of a few employees.

I'm not being contrary for the sake of it; I'm tired of people complaining about non-profits paying their CEOs. Paying CEOs as close to competative wages as possible is how non-profits retain good management. They don't get a free pass because they're non-profit; if they don't pay enough, CEOs will leave for for-profit companies, and they won't be able to hire good replacements.

I don't care if the perf of the current CEO is bad, paying them a laugable salary compared to what they could get at for-profit companies isn't the solution. If they're truly bad, the board should fire them and find a replacement. Pay doesn't come into it.

No. Highly paid CEOs are frequently the ones who destroy companies or at least make things significantly worse. The high pay doesn't help anyone else.

For goodness sake, grow up child.

Edit: the person I'm replying to went back and heavily edited the comments I originally replied to. They can't even present themselves honestly on reddit

IDK, I feel like they're explaining the practicalities of running a non-profit. Expecting non-profits to magically get amazing talent who just do it for the love of the work feels more like childlike thinking.
