Careless People: a story of where I used to work

Careless People: A Story of Where I Used to Work

A gripping, insider memoir from a former Facebook executive about power, purpose, and what happens when idealism meets corporate reality.

In Careless People, Sarah Wynn-Williams pulls back the curtain on her seven years at one of the world’s most powerful tech companies. As a senior leader at Facebook (now Meta), she witnessed firsthand how ambition, influence, and speed often eclipsed responsibility and ethics.

💼 Inside Big Tech – A rare look at Facebook’s inner workings, from boardrooms to global crisis response.
⚖️ Power and accountability – How good intentions can be overshadowed by growth, control, and corporate culture.
🧠 A personal reckoning – One woman’s journey from belief to burnout—and the courage to speak out.

With sharp insight and dark humor, Wynn-Williams shares what it’s like to navigate the moral gray zones of a tech empire shaping global events. Inspired by a line from The Great Gatsby, Careless People is a cautionary tale about influence without responsibility.

Perfect for readers of Bad Blood, No Filter, and The Chaos Machine, this memoir challenges us to think critically about the systems behind the screens we use every day.
