  • Former Facebook employees gave details about Mark Zuckerberg's management style to The Washington Post.
  • The former employees said that Zuckerberg had become more isolated inside his own company.
  • They said he dominated decision-making at Facebook, including a move to censor content in Vietnam.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become more isolated inside his own company, The Washington Post reported former employees as saying, as he grapples with growing criticism and fallout from the Facebook Papers.

The former employees said that Zuckerberg primarily communicates decisions to a tight inner circle known as the "Small Team" and a slightly larger group of company leaders known as the "M-Team" or "Mark's Team," according to the Post's report Monday.

A consortium of 17 US news organizations, including the Post, on Monday said they had reviewed leaked internal documents, known as the Facebook Papers, obtained by whistleblower Frances Haugen.

The report by The Post outlined Zuckerberg's management style based on interviews with former Facebook staffers and information gleaned from the Facebook Papers. The Post said that the company tightly controls information about Zuckerberg as well as information that reaches him.

Facebook disputed Zuckerberg's isolation, the Post said.

The former employees told the Post that Zuckerberg had massive influence at the company that went further than what was publicly known.

"The specter of Zuckerberg looms in everything the company does," Brian Boland, a former vice president of partnerships and marketing, told The Post. "It is entirely driven by him."

Zuckerberg personally decided that Facebook would bow to pressure from Vietnam's government to censor dissident voices, three people familiar with the decision told The Post.

As well as dominating high-level decision-making, Zuckerberg appears to have time left over for micromanagement. The Post reported two sources as saying that he personally designed the color scheme and the layout for Facebook's "I got vaccinated" frames that users can use to enhance their profile pictures.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
