Sarah Wynn-Williams had a front-row seat to some of Facebook’s most consequential (and controversial) moments. These are some of the most shocking claims from her memoir, Careless People.
Update, March 18, 2025, 1:57 PM PT: Wynn-Williams describes her tenure at Facebook as lasting seven years, beginning in 2011. But, according to a Meta spokesperson, she was fired in “late 2017.” This story has been updated to reflect that she worked at Facebook for “nearly” seven years.
What possible reason is there to believe Meta’s side of the story here?
I lived in my previous city for 9years 9m. I usually tell people I lived there 10 years, I don’t expect they’ll fell very betrayed when they learn the truth.
Different cultures count differently. eg Jesus was not born in zero AD but in one AD. His whole first year of life he was considered to be in his first year.
I think some countries count age this way too (hopefully someone can confirm to satisfy my nerdy curiosity).

But more importantly, who cares?

I’m actually in the same boat. I’m three months out from being here a decade, but as with infants, we start rounding at a certain point.
