I am surprised that KQED got a $200,000 grant to open a Discord community.

Is there is a reason for that and what did that money got spent on?

    The salary for one person? That’s extraordinary for a discord admin.

      Salary is one part of the cost for an employee.

      Benefits and perks cost money, plus you have the additional overhead of legal, HR, accounting which can scale based on headcount.

      Most of my employers used a 2.5x multiplier to account for this.

      Another place I worked every employee cost 250k regardless of salary.
