Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

Oh my goodness. This is everything I want in a memoir. Money. Drama. Secrets. Lies. Weirdness on private jets and more! Lawyer Sarah Wynn-Williams, originally from New Zealand, lands her dream job in 2011 when she is hired to work in global policy and government relations at the rising social media company Facebook (now Meta). In the beginning, she believed Facebook was going to change the world for the better, socially and politically. Almost immediately Wynn-Williams begins working closely with Mark Zuckerberg, and later, Sheryl Sandberg. While working for Facebook she also gave birth to two children, but the stresses of her job and parenting seemed to mix like oil and water. The culture at Facebook demanded she have no outside life at all. She worked for the company until she was terminated in 2017 after a series of cringe-worthy misogynistic experiences and personal humiliations. In one of her lowest moments in the company, she is scolded during a performance review for not being fully available to the staff when she was not only on maternity leave, but also literally in a coma. From meeting with world leaders to gifts of sexy lingerie from her boss, Careless People is an insider's sneak peek into how a social media platform became one of the most powerful empires in the world.
