On March 11, 2023, Sarah Wynn-Williams released 'Careless People,' detailing her experiences as Meta's Director of Global Public Policy. The memoir reached the top of best-seller lists but prompted Meta to seek an injunction to silence her, citing a non-disparagement agreement. The book humorously and honestly recounts the company's governance and executive responses to pressure, particularly regarding China. Despite Meta's claims of Wynn-Williams' past performance issues and character, her firsthand insights pose a threat to the company’s image, revealing uncomfortable truths.
"Careless People offers an inside look at Mark Zuckerberg's and Sheryl Sandberg's management style, examining their reactions to governmental pressure and workplace dynamics with humor and honesty."
"Meta's concern about the memoir stems from Wynn-Williams’ direct experiences during a significant growth period, highlighting uncomfortable truths that paint a negative picture of the company."
"While the overarching themes may have been publicly discussed before, Wynn-Williams’ detailed personal account brings a new dimension to previously known narratives about the company."
