It was Meta who told me for the first time about the book that attacked Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and its bankruptcy ethics. On March 7, a Meta PR person contacted me to ask me if I heard about it Careless peopleThen A destruction is said to be expected to be released in a few days. I did not. No one in the meta has read the book, but the Comms department actively removed it, making a statement that the author was a former employee who was terminated in 2017.
My first thought is Wow, I have to read this book! And in fact I did, swallowed it for one night as soon as it was published. With the benefits of the attention from Meta's complaints, I doubt Careless people Can become a must read. Meta, the company self -advertised as a representative of a freelance speech, successfully convinced a referee The author is silent Sarah Wynn-Williams, who used to be the director in charge of connecting Meta executives to global leaders. The ruling, based on a signed NDA after Wynn-Williams was fired, asked her to stop promoting the book, do everything in her ability to prevent its publication, and withdraw all comments on criticism, criticism or other disadvantages about Meta. Those are quite a lot of books. Wynn-williams, who registered as a whistle with the SEC, did not attend the hearing and did not seem to tend to respect it. When I write this, Careless people Now is the third best selling book on Amazon.
The arbitrator's friendly emergency ruling is the climax of a fierce campaign against the book broke out once the company has a view of it. Even when I flipped the pages of Careless peopleMy inbox fattened with dispatches from Meta. Her book is a blend of old statements and wrong accusations for our executives, a spokesman for the company. They are characterized by the fact that she shot is a result of poor performance and toxic behaviors. They call her a dissatisfied activist trying to sell books. Meanwhile, on social media, existing employees and former staff have posted a comment to protect malignant executives.
If the news is too old, people can ask why meta goes on the nucleus on Wynn-williams? For one thing, its author is a senior executive director in the room, and on the company's jet, when things happen and she stated that everything is worse than we imagined. Yes, Meta's Reckless despises In MyanmarWhere people who die in riots are activated by false information posted on Facebook, have been reported before and the company has apologized. But the storytelling of Wynn-Williams draws a picture that Meta's leaders simply do not care much about the dangers there. While the media wrote about Zuckerberg's obsession when putting Facebook into China, Wynn-Williams shared official documents showing that Meta guided the Chinese government about recognition and AI, and said the company's behavior was It's weird That the group has created titles to show what the company will have to deal with if their plans are leaked. An example: When Zuckerberg will not stop in China. While making sex claims that the book cannot be trusted, Meta did not deny all these allegations specifically. .
However, in the context of what we know about Meta, nothing Wynn-Williams talks about the actions and inactivity of the company is a new thing. Careless people It is not an investigation job, but a memoir, with the theme of narration as the mercilessness of the company's leaders. With this personal concentration, it is not strange Careless peopleThe most memorable moments are not from the morality of the company that does not meet the standard of Meta, but the anecdotes about the wrongdoing on the company's plane or at luxurious hotels. Although there is a reference for the title F. Scott Fitzgerald, most of the book reads like a large technology theme of technology. White lotus. Wynn-Williams said that Sheryl Sandberg was pressure to force her to share a bed in the air, the global executive director of Meta, Joel Kaplan called her the hot and accumulated her while her father danced in a company's retreat. .
Maybe Is she trusted? Meta called Wynn-Williams a storyteller who was unreliable, and she was definitely interested. I tend to think that she did not do everything but filmed events in the least lightest light for her subjects and the most favorable light for herself. And although she may not admit that, she is also one of the careless people. By her own account, she is Susan Collins Facebook's policy group, traced the practice of morality and sometimes protests, but eventually goes with the flow. She said that for many years, she had outlined an escape but could not leave her work and health insurance due to her serious health problems. Because she is a company director, who has earned millions of dollars in compensation and California includes previous conditions for private health insurance, which is not right. She was trapped until she was canned. By that time, according to her own account, she slowed her efforts because she did not agree with the policy of her owners.
