> if an executive paid $350k is 35% less likely to make a mistake that would cost the organisation $1m (which is about 1% of their budget), compared to a volunteer working for free, then maybe, from the organisation's point of view, the expenditure is cheap.
True, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe that's a realistic hypothetical at all.
Some of the most expensive WMF execs have been complete disasters, exiting after a year or two and leaving the entire organisation in disarray.
Maybe they should spend more than $350k and find someone more competent.
That reminds me of the saying, "We have the best politicians money can buy."
Can you provide an example?
