Meta, which was formerly called Facebook, is reportedly investigating Sheryl Sandberg, who abruptly resigned after 14 years in the company. She worked as FB's chief operating officer, and she announced her resignation last week.
According to Fox Business, Sandberg worked closely with Meta's chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg, and now lawyers are investigating her as part of the company's assessment of work that employees did on behalf of her foundation and personal projects.
It was reported late last week that Meta's lawyers have met with employees and spoke to them amid an inquiry related to Sandberg's use of company resources for personal affairs. Based on the reports, the inquiry includes looking into the work that employees carried out to support Sandberg's "Lean In" foundation that champions women in the workplace.
They are also looking into the writing and promotion of Sanberg's second book titled "Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy." Moreover, it was previously reported that they are also reviewing the former COO's alleged use of Facebook's resources to plan her wedding.
Some insiders revealed to the media that concerns related to her activities have been circulating for some time, but the probe is only taking place now. People were saying that Sandberg's and Zuckerberg's activities were a mix of professional and personal as both of them used private planes for travel in addition to receiving personal security at their homes and travel, which are allegedly paid for by Facebook.
It was reported that the company shelled out almost $9 million to pay for security at Sandberg's home in 2021. It was further alleged that during personal travel and $2.3 million for costs related to her personal use of private planes, the report said.
Some of the Facebook staff also helped her during book tours when she was promoting her most recent literary work. It was added that it was not unusual for company staff to assist her with other work for her foundation and help with tasks for her family.
Finally, as Sandberg vacates her COO role in the company, she will be replaced by Javier Olivan, who is Meta's chief growth officer. On the other hand, the outgoing executive will remain with the company as part of Meta's board starting this fall, Reuters reported.
