The former Facebook executive, Sheryl Sandberg, spent $ 13,000 in lingerie for her and a young assistant during a trip to Europe, and urged her to “go to bed” during a private flight to reaction on the way home, according to a new explosive memory.
The bomb statements were made in a book published by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee who wrote about the six years he spent in the technological giant in “neglected people: a story of warning of power, greed and lost idealism.”
During a long trip through Europe, Sandberg and his 26-year-old assistant turned to sleep in the laps of the other and caressing his hair, Wynn-Williams alleged in the explosive Tell-All.
During the trip, Sandberg instructed Wynn-Williams to buy lingerie for both, regardless of the cost, the final invoice reaches $ 13,000, according to a review of the book published Monday by The New York Times.
According to the book review, a Sandberg coated with pajamas was visibly irritated when Wynn-Williams rejected his offer to join her in “The only bed on the plane” during a flight home in a private jet.
Williams left the company in 2017, before it was renamed in the finish line.
“This is a combination of outdated and previously informed claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” said a Meta spokesman, to the post.
“Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams was fired for low performance and toxic behavior, and an investigation at that time determined that he made deceptive and unfounded accusations of harassment.”
The spokesman added that “since then, it has been paid by Anti-Facebook activists and this is simply a continuation of that work.”
“The status of complainant protects communications to the government, not the unhappy activists trying to sell books,” said Meta spokesman.
Wynn-Williams also reminds the main Facebook policy executive, Joel Kaplan, participating in a behavior that made it deeply uncomfortable, according to the review.
Kaplan, former Marine and former Harvard Sandberg boyfriend, served as Vice President of American Facebook policy before becoming vice president of global policy, and finally the head of Wynn-Williams.
Kaplan, a conservative operation with deep links with republican politics, once pressed against her on the dance floor at a work event, commenting that she seemed “sensual” and making disturbing comments about her husband, Wynn-Williams wrote in the book.
When he almost dies of an amniotic fluid embolism as he gave birth to his second child, Kaplan continued to send him an email throughout his maternity leave, insisting on weekly videoconferences, he said.
Even after explaining that he required additional surgery because he was still bleeding, Kaplan pressed it: “But where are you bleeding?”
An internal Facebook investigation finally cleared Kaplan of any irregularity, according to the review of The Times’s book.
The company’s research was covered 42 days during which 17 different witnesses were interviewed, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Sarah Feinberg, former goal used, turned to the social media platform threads to defend his former employer and Kaplan.
“I left Facebook/goal for more than a decade to return to the government’s service, so a minute has passed … but this book overlaps with all my years there, and the author was one of my colleagues. While everyone has the right to their own opinion and their own experience, I do not recognize this company’s story, its leaders or my time there,” Feinberg wrote in Threads.
Feinberg added that “it was present for many of these events, and I worked on some of these projects, and these descriptions are simply not close.”
He also defended Kaplan, writing: “I worked with Joel Kaplan throughout my years on Facebook, I was one of my closest colleagues, and I have never observed that it is anything other than professional, reflective, strategic and fair.”
Meanwhile, Wynn-Williams describes CEO Mark Zuckerberg as someone who made the transition of being obsessed with coding and engineering to an executive consumed by politics and public worship, according to The Times.
While in a tour of Asia, Wynn-Williams received instructions to organize a multitude of more than one million people to make sure he was “gently harassed” while on a trip to Indonesia, he said.
At one point, he told Wynn-Williams that President Andrew Jackson, known for signing the Indian Extorization Law, was the best US executive director because “he did things.”
Wynn-Williams memories were kept secret by the editor until a few days before Tuesday.
She offered a scathing internal story of the company’s leaders, portraying them as hungry for power, irresponsible and indifferent to the consequences of their actions.
In the book, Wynn-Williams compared Zuckerberg and Sandberg, 55, the “careless people” of “The Great Gatsby”, breaking things and leaving others to deal with the consequences.
The book also detailed Facebook’s secret attempts to re -enter the Chinese market through a project called “Aldrin”, which involved associations, censorship tools and data exchange proposals.
According to Wynn-Williams, Zuckerberg sought to come with the Chinese Communist Party.
These efforts included “providing reports to PCCh officials about new technologies such as artificial intelligence, developing custom censorship tools with the PCCH and making efforts to hide target cooperation with the PCCH of the United States Congress.”
When Congress interrogated it in 2018, Zuckerberg said: “There have been no decisions about conditions under which no possible future service could be offered in China.”
In the review of The Times, Wynn-Williams is cited as Rodeos: “He lies.”
Now working on AI policy, Wynn-Williams has filed a complaint complaint with the SEC.
A Sandberg spokesman declined to comment.
