Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apparently isn’t very happy about employees leaking things he says during internal company-wide meetings. The company issued a memo threatening to fire people for leaking internal comms – and that memo was of course immediately leaked …
Zuckerberg shared a number of sensitive pieces of information during the latest all-hands meeting. This included commentary on the decision to end the company’s DEI programs, on changing hate-speech rules to permit things like calling gay people mentally ill, and laying off employees the company considers to be low performers.
Previously, Meta employees have been able to publicly submit questions they’d like to be answered, and everyone could then upvote their favorites. This year The Verge reports those votes were not shown, and comments were switched off during the meeting.
Zuckerberg also said that he was going to be less open because everything he said was leaked.
We try to be really open and then everything I say leaks. It sucks.
Meta security chief Guy Rosen issued an internal memo afterwards stating that leakers would be fired.
“We take leaks seriously and will take action,” Rosen said [going] on to say that Meta “will take appropriate action, including termination” if it identifies leakers.
That memo was, of course, immediately leaked.
