The journey of former Facebook/Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams continues as we review highlights and takeaways from Chapters 33-37. As Sarah slowly makes her return to work after a complicated delivery with her second child, her manager, Joel, maintains his dual status as the least likeable person in the book and as a cautionary tale for any workplace. The outcome of the 2016 election displays the undeniable power of Facebook/Meta in swaying perceptions and opinions to once again uplift any political underdog, for the right price. Coming to grips with that influence and connection to Trump's win in 2016 is something Mark struggles with, until he realizes that unbridled power could also enable any aspirations of his own. A chilling segment that ends with the author feeling sure of her intent to leave the company as soon as possible.
