Would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich? before assuming the worst happened instead?. One could say shame on you for not asking first.

The knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) and supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.

Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.

In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking was fired or forced out.

Since he was not fired or forced out he could go back to Mozilla if he wanted to I would like to think.
