The author is pretty wordy. But I don&#x27;t find a genuine hard hitting line of criticism against Sheryl Sandberg. It mostly goes on as loosely connected ramblings - about her writing a B-school type book, to being pals with Goldman Sachs &amp; then the charity. The ending about justifying having children as best source of happiness is bizarre. Happiness is a very subjective experience. Some find it in religion as well. Maybe building new things or pursuing certain hobbies too (mountaineering for e.g.)<p>Apart from this story, I do generally find her several of her actions as COO quite questionable - especially Cambridge Analytica &amp; the weird data&#x2F;privacy policies over the years. As the boss, she did approve of all these moves.<p>I don&#x27;t&#x2F;didn&#x27;t ever work for Meta, but I am told by senior tech folks working there that MZ is generally liked&#x2F;respected within the engineering cadres for his leadership (as opposed to the zombie&#x2F;alien jokes floating around). But Sandberg was someone you wanted to keep yourself away from, at all costs.
