After 14 years with the social-media giant, the chief operating officer at Meta is stepping down. She wrote about the process she set up with CEO Mark Zuckerberg when she first joined his team in the executive's Facebook post announcing her departure.
I asked Mark if he would meet with me one-on-one every week, if we would sit next to each other, and if he would give me honest feedback.
Dave Goldberg encouraged her to set up the right process with her new boss, rather than immediately try to resolve every substantive issue, as she wrote.
The departing COO wrote that the feedback would have to be mutual, but that he agreed to the three demands.
He has kept his promises, and we still sit together and meet one-on-one every week.
Before joining Facebook, she was an executive at the company. At the party hosted by Dan, she met the man.
I had tried The Facebook, as it was first called, but still thought the internet was a largely anonymous place to look for funny pictures. I told Dan that I got a new life at that party but never had a drink, so he owed me one.
She initially planned to stay at Facebook for five years.
In the critical moments of my life, in the highest highs and in the depths of true lows, I have never had to turn to Mark because he was already there.
