In 2010, an angry email from Mark Zuckerberg to a Facebook employee demanding their resignation was leaked on social media. The email was in response to inaccurate information about the company's future plans being leaked to TechCrunch. The Facebook CEO called the leak an "act of betrayal" and demanded that the employee responsible resign immediately. Zuckerberg went on to warn that anyone who believed it was appropriate to leak internal information should also leave the company. The email has been published by Internal Tech Emails and serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping confidential information private.
An email that has recently resurfaced on social media shows a furious Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, demanding the resignation of an employee in 2010. The email, which has been made public by Internal Tech Emails, reveals Zuckerberg's anger towards an employee who leaked inaccurate information about Facebook's future plans. The TechCrunch article had claimed that the social media giant was secretly building a phone, which Zuckerberg vehemently denied during a Q&A session.
In the email, which starts with the line "Confidential - Do Not Share", Zuckerberg expresses his disappointment and anger over the betrayal, and asks the employee responsible for the leak to resign immediately. "If you believe that it's ever appropriate to leak internal information, you should leave," he wrote, threatening to uncover the identity of the employee if they refuse to resign.
The email's language is harsh, with Zuckerberg calling the leak an "act of betrayal". He goes on to state that the company is not building a phone, but is instead working on ways to make all phones and apps more social.
It's not the first time that Facebook, now operating under the brand Meta, has undergone massive changes. Earlier this month, Zuckerberg announced that Meta would cut 10,000 jobs in the coming months, with a focus on middle management roles. The company has been undergoing a "year of efficiency", as the US tech sector continues to downsize.
Meta had a difficult year in 2022, with a struggling economy forcing advertisers to reduce their marketing budget. Additionally, Apple's data privacy changes have had an impact on ad personalization, further affecting the company's revenue.
conclusion,
the email from Zuckerberg in 2010 remains an example of his leadership style, which can be both intense and demanding. Despite the passage of time, his commitment to keeping internal information confidential remains steadfast.
