The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board…

Of course I can’t comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can’t figure out.

    lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply

    Is this racist against the Irish? I mean that is traditional, but sounds so strange.

      “Irish need not apply” was a common thing in job ads at one time; asshat here is doing the usual conservative thing of pretending to be unfairly persecuted

      I think this is just a CEO likening personal opinions to racial oppression. The example he chose might be a little ironic too.
