Sheryl Sandberg Leaving Meta Platforms, Formerly Facebook, Because of Company Investigation, Burnout

Meta Platforms COO Sheryl Sandberg may have been prompted in part to give up her position because of a company investigation into her activities. 

Including a review of her use of corporate resources to help plan her upcoming wedding.

As of May, the review was ongoing, the WSJ said

The WSJ story also allowed that Sandberg has been “telling people that she feels burned out and that she has become a punching bag for the company’s problems.”

The investigation is also looking into allegations that Sandberg pressured the U.K.’s Daily Mail to “shelve” an article about Sandberg’s former boyfriend

CEO Bobby Kotick, and a 2014 temporary restraining order against him.
