It was Meta herself that told me for the first time about the new book that Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and the alleged bankrupt morality of their company attacked. On March 7, a Meta PR person contacted me to ask if I had heard about it Carefree people, An assumed removal of the company that would be released within a few days. I didn't have it. Nobody at Meta had already read the book, but the Comms Department had already proactively disprove it and issued a statement that the author was a former employee who was 'ended' in 2017.
My first thought was Wow, I have to read this book! And in fact I did that, devouring in one night as soon as it was published. With the advantage of the attention of Meta's complaints, I suspect Carefree people Can become a must-read. Meta-the company that promotes itself as an avatar of freedom of expression-has successfully convinced an arbitrator to silence Sarah Wynn-Williams, who was director who was responsible for connecting the managers of Meta with world leaders. The statement, signed on an NDA after Wynn-Williams was fired, demands that she stops promoting the book, does everything in her power to stop the publication and to record all responses “contemptly, critically or otherwise harmful” about Meta. That is just about the entire book. Wynn-Williams, who has registered as a whistleblower with the SEC, has not attended the hearing and does not seem to be inclined. While I write this Carefree people Is now the third best book on Amazon.
The meta-friendly 'emergency' ruling of the arbitrator was the climax of an intense campaign against the book that erupted as soon as the company got a look at it. Even when I have the pages of Carefree peopleMy inbox was fat mast with Meta shipments. “Her book is a mix of old claims and false accusations about our managers,” says a company spokesperson. They characterize her fires as a result of 'poor performance and toxic behavior'. They call her “a dissatisfied activist trying to sell books.” In the meantime, current and former employees placed comments on social media that defend the malignant managers.
If the news is so old, you could ask why Meta is nuclear on Wynn-Williams? First of all, the author was a senior executive who was in the room, and on the company jet, when things happened – and she claims that things were worse than we thought. Yes, the reckless contempt from Meta in Myanmar, where people died in riots caused by wrong information on Facebook, was previously reported and the company has since apologized. But the stories of Wynn-Williams tell a photo in which the leaders of Meta simply did not care much about the dangers there. While the Media Has Written About Zuckerberg's Obsession with Getting Facebook Into China, Wynn-Williams Shares Official Documents That Show Meta Instructing the Chinese Government On Face Recognition and Ai, And Says That The Company's Behade Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Team Thatbage Thisbage Thisbage Thatrage Thisbage Thatrage Thisbage Thatrage Thatrage Thatbayous Thatrage Thatbayous Thatrage Thatbage This's Team With if their plans leaked. An example: “Zuckerberg does not stop in China.” Although making general statements that the book cannot be trusted, Meta has not specifically denied all these allegations. (In general, when a company tries to reject the charges as 'old news', which translates into a confirmation.)
Yet in the context of what we already know about Meta, there is nothing that Wynn-Williams says about the actions and initiative of the company is shockingly new. Carefree people Is not research work, but a memoir, where the narrative thread is the observed callusity of the leaders of the company. Given this personal focus, it is no wonder that Carefree peopleThe most memorable moments do not come from Meta's substandard business morality, but gossip dotes of misconduct in the company plane or at luxury hotels. Despite the exalted F. Scott Fitzgerald title reference, a large part of the book reads as an episode of a great technology theme of White lotus. Wynn-Williams says that Sheryl Sandberg put her under pressure to share a bed in the air, that Meta Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan called her 'sultry' and gravel while daddy dancing during a business retreat. (This led her to submit a claim of sexual harassment that Meta now says that it was “misleading and unfounded”.) Mark Zuckerberg also thinks that Andrew Jackson was the greatest president because he “did things”.
Can She's familiar? Meta calls Wynn-Williams an unreliable narrator and she is certainly self-interest. I tend to think that she does not come up with things, but running events in the least favorable light for her subjects and the most favorable light for herself. And although they may not admit it, she is also one of the carefree people. According to her own account, she was the Susan Collins of the Facebook policy team, who squeezed her hands about morally questionable practices and sometimes offering objections – but eventually going with the electricity. She says that she has deported an escape for years, but could not afford to leave the job and medical coverage due to her serious health problems. Because she was a company director who earned many millions of dollars in compensation, and California includes existing conditions for private health insurance, that does not sound true. She kept hanging around until she was canned. By that time, according to her own report, she was slowly over -over -over and foring her efforts because she did not agree with the policy of her bosses.
