CNBC: Facebook staff angry with Zuckerberg for leaving up Trump’s ‘looting … shooting’ post
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has angered several members of his team by failing to remove Trump post on George Floyd.
The New York Times reports that some Facebook employees are staging a virtual protest today:
“The employees, who took the day off by logging into Facebook’s systems and requesting time off to support protesters across the country, also added an automated message to their emails saying that they were out of the office in a show of protest. The group is one of many clusters of employees attempting to push back on executives. As of Monday morning, many employees continued to discuss a list of demands for management.”
