During a recent Q&A session with employees, a high-ranking executive from Meta issued a concerning warning regarding internal communications.
In addressing the “tremendous number of leaks” from within the company, CTO Andrew Bosworth expressed that while he didn’t wish to “ruin the surprises,” Meta was “making progress on catching people responsible for leaking information.”
Following Mark Zuckerberg’s remarks at an all-hands meeting, which were leaked to the public, Meta’s leadership has been attempting to tighten control over a restless workforce. The struggle for power within the company is ongoing, and it remains uncertain how Meta will evolve moving forward.
“There’s an interesting dynamic occurring with these leaks,” Bosworth noted during his earlier Q&A session (which I have obtained a recording of). “When information leaks, many assume it will pressure us to implement changes. However, the contrary is often true.”
“Meta has historically engaged in what I refer to as the repeat game, as far as I can tell since Mark’s inception. If a culture is developed where leaks prompt internal changes, it inadvertently encourages even more leaks. This creates an incorrect incentive structure…” he elaborated.
