#CarelessPeople, first impressions (1/?)
6 pages in I am already not at all convinced by how she distances herself from any responsibility for the behaviour of the company she was an extremely senior figure of, in charge of a particularly consequential strategic area
#CarelessPeople (2/?)
55 pages in, she keeps saying that the people around her at the top of Facebook were so very smart, but to me they sound like they were very high on their own supply. show don’t tell, please, and while you’re telling “smart”, what you’re showing is a group of people drinking lots and lots of kool-aid. including quite prominently you yourself.
#CarelessPeople (3/?) when she goes to Myanmar to get the junta to unblock Facebook and they tell her they block it because people are using it to foment ethnic hatred and she’s like “meh, please just unblock us”; I am not getting a sense that she herself is significantly more caring here.
Oh wait, she cared, about potentially being fired if her employer would find out she was pregnant before she had fixed that situation.
#CarelessPeople (5/?) the very first “realisation of how little they care” (p. 118), is literally exclusively a realisation how little they cared about *her*.
This book should have been called “People Who Didn’t Care About Meeeeeeeeee”, really.
