A new book by a former Meta executive blows the lid off an allegedly toxic workplace at the highest levels in the company. The company's clumsy efforts to squelch its promotion increased sales and offered plenty of free publicity.

“Careless People” recounts uncomfortable encounters between Joel Kaplan, now Meta’s vice president of global public policy, and Wynn-Williams, who claims he ground himself against her at a work event, described her as “sultry,” and made “weird comments” about her husband.

Flatiron Books, the publisher of a new book by an ex-Meta staffer alleging misconduct and harassment at the company, says in a statement that a recent arbitration order demanding that the book no longer be published has “no impact” on Macmillan.
