If you loved Catch-22 you will love ”Careless people”! I warmly recommend a read. Not to support Sarah necessarily - just because the book is great! It’s not really a spill-the-tea as much absurdist escapade in corporate america.

Ok the details on Zuckerberg and ”Lean In” Sandberg _are_ bizarre. Which makes it a super fun read.

It has been [0] days since the last report on nasty Meta shenanigans.

On a related note, I believe (based on no evidence) that Zuckerberg knows of a lot more nasty dealings and wants to crucify Wynn-Williams to scare off any potential whistleblowers.

Honest question:

If you have no evidence, then why do you believe it?

Because it is extremely unlikely she knew everything. Based on her book, she was last to learn quite a lot of ugly stuff she reports on - they told her only when they had to.

And she left long time ago. It is even more unlikely that the company magically became clean after her leaving.

Circumstantial plus expecting the worst.

A company and founder with such an extensive list of publicly known misdeeds (starting with Facesmash), chances are that there are many skeletons left to uncover. Setting a precedent is no unknown course of action.

It's not much to go by, but I am a commenter on HN, not a lawyer and Occam's razor doesn't disagree either.
