Sorry, English isn't my fish language and don't understand what that means.
He requested to be greeted by a (seemingly spontaneous) large, excited crowd
E: oops didn't mean to reply. But yeah that's so needy
no meetings before noon
Idk what's so weird about this. If I was a billionaire I'd definitely have the same policy
He sure does take it to the extreme though...
That same year, she said she was forced to reschedule Zuckerberg’s address at the UN to a later time slot because, according to Wynn-Williams, “the United Nations isn’t important enough for Mark to do an event before noon.”
But beyond that, I suppose it goes against the mythology of billionaires being "hard working", which is obviously silly, but there are people who still believe that nonsense, and might be shocked.
He clearly needs his mornings to contemplate and relax so he can be infinitely more productive than the average peson.
If only everyone got to choose their schedules as freely and arbitrarily, everyone could be a billionaire like him.
Think I'd be the other way. All meetings before noon and then give me the afternoon to do shit I enjoy.
If I was a billionaire anyone suggesting a meeting would be fired out of a cannon.
These chuds sitting on enough wealth to buy an island and live out their lives in pure bliss still taking meetings just shows how terrible they are at making decisions.
Yeah, in hindsight, if I were a billionaire I'd be in my garage with some nice machine tools making stuff or coding for fun or any number of things I enjoy more than business.
I dont do meetings before noon either
Zuckerberg requested that she arrange either a “peace rally” or a “riot” during his visit. Facebook’s CEO never explains the request, but Wynn-Williams speculates he wanted "to test out how effective his product is in turning Facebook’s online tools into offline power.”
Yo what
Like I said in another sub,
I hate meta and zuckerberg religiously but all of these points seemed like making a fuss about nothing to make profit. Most things here seemed pretty normal and expected for a company that big and it's CEO.
Now I'm speculating if all of this book and suing it's writer is a psyops by meta to say "these are the worst things that they could come up with. These are as bad as it gets"
