I've read Wynn-Williams' book. It is astonishing and fascinating. If even half of it is truth, it's nightmarish how the leaders of Meta behave. And completely predictable that they'd try to punish its author, despite that punishment having no bearing on whether the book is out in the world (it is). That said, the author doesn't come off particularly well, either. In her effort to excuse herself for working for Meta's leaders willingly for so long, she comes off as a painfully naive workaholic who ignores the welfare of her husband, children, friends, family, and even her own body in order to serve the whims of executives who will never care for her. Reading stories about how she, her colleagues, and even world leaders are repeatedly debased and devalued in order to please people like Mark Zuckerberg and Sherly Sandberg is deeply sad. She doesn't deserve what's being done to her but it's hard to see how it is unpredictable. | ||||||||

Or maybe she wasn't that naive but thrilled by the proximity to the power working for facebook and shmoozing with heads of state gave her, and neglected everything else in service of that. She may not be the most reluable narrator for her own case. | ||||||||
