From PC Mag: Meta is cracking down on leakers, firing around 20 people it says shared confidential information.
"We tell employees when they join the company, and we offer periodic reminders, that it is against our policies to leak internal information, no matter the intent,” Meta tells The Verge. "We recently conducted an investigation that resulted in roughly 20 employees being terminated for sharing confidential information outside the company, and we expect there will be more."
At an all-hands meeting last month, CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told employees that he wouldn’t address all their questions since he didn’t find value in discussing stuff that would eventually get leaked. “We try to be really open, and then everything I say leaks. It sucks,” he said.
After details about that meeting leaked, Meta sent an internal memo warning employees that it would “take appropriate action, including termination” against leakers. How do we know? Well, that memo got leaked, too.
