Meta Operations Chief Sheryl Sandberg being investigated over use of company resources
Just days after Meta’s Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg, put down her papers, a new report has surfaced claiming that the executive is being investigated for use of company resources for personal reasons. A report by Wall Street Journal highlighted the issue by citing people familiar with the matter.
The report suggests that lawyers are investigating Meta Platforms Inc’s executive for the use of company resources over several years. The WSJ report claims that many employees of the company are being investigated in regard with this investigation. Moreover, it claims that the probe has been going on since last fall.
Among the activities being scrutinized is the work of Meta employees to support Sandberg’s foundation, Lean In, and towards writing and promotion of her second book, “Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy”, the report added.
Earlier in June, Sandberg, whose close partnership with Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg powered the growth of the world’s biggest social network, announced her departure from the company after 14 years.
Chief Growth Officer Javier Olivan is set to take over as chief operating officer although Zuckerberg said he did not plan to replace Sandberg’s role directly within the company’s existing structure.
Sandberg said that she will continue to serve on Meta’s board after leaving the company in the fall.
