Now, arguably obviously they could not interview all of the many employees at that time but this is with names and dates:

Everyone on that list worked for the Mozilla Foundation, and would not have reported to Brendan as CEO of the Mozilla Corporation (which made that tweet misleading at best). I referred to that group already in the comments here.

AFAIK no Mozilla Corporation employees spoke out publicly in this manner, and internally I did not hear any such sentiments from Corporation employees. On the contrary, a lot of Corp employees expressed anger at that Foundation group ... not because they supported Brendan's Prop 8 position, but because that Foundation group poured fuel onto a fire that was doing great harm to Mozilla.


I didn't realize those people were Foundation employees. Thanks for pointing that out.

I do know of Corporation employees who said they left or were prepared to leave because Eich was promoted. They didn't want publicity though.


That is interesting. Unfortunately from my point of view it's hard to know what to make of a report like that at this late date.
