SHERYL SANDBERG

Nothing good ever comes out of the crackling hellfire of corporate America.

Amazon's top retail boss is stepping down effective July 1, the company announced in a securities filing on Friday.

Over the past decade, Sandberg has sold over 75% of her shares through regularly scheduled share sale programs.

Her high-profile manifesto about women’s career and life choices changed the way we talk about workplace and leadership issues.

These are the stocks posting the largest moves in midday trading.

Sandberg was one of the highest-ranking female executives in corporate America and a promoter of self-empowerment feminism to fight workplace sexism.

Javier Olivan, Meta's next chief operating officer, might not be a household name, but inside the company he's known for taking Facebook global.

The social media giant’s scaler-in-chief is departing just as the company confronts some of its biggest challenges.

Sheryl Sandberg rose to fame during a more optimistic time for tech companies' public image.

While we will miss the leadership of Sandberg — the company's COO and No. 2 to CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg — it doesn't change our investment thesis.

Sandberg, the chief operating officer, has been Zuckerberg's number 2 for 14 years.

Over a 14 year career at Facebook, Sandberg was a pivotal figure in helping the social network become one of the most dominant social media platforms in the world.

Sheryl Sandberg, the No. 2 executive at Facebook owner Meta, who helped turn its business from startup to digital advertising empire while also taking blame for some of its biggest missteps along the way, is stepping down.

Sandberg joined Facebook in early 2008 as the No. 2 to Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.

A leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that would abolish a nationwide right to abortion has thrust major companies into what’s arguably the most divisive issue in American politics.

Companies were reticent to weigh in, even as the Supreme Court on Tuesday confirmed the authenticity of a leaked draft of the majority opinion.

Facebook is now reviewing whether Sandberg violated its rules, unnamed sources told the Journal.

If half the world were run by women, Sandberg believes the world would be "safer" and "much more prosperous."

Newly unredacted documents from a state-led antitrust lawsuit against Google accuse the search giant of colluding with rival Facebook to manipulate online advertising sales.

Google and Facebook's chief executives personally oversaw a 2018 deal that advantaged Facebook on Google's ad auctions, a group of states alleged on Friday.

"We can't just forget about the Afghans that we brought here," said one advocate.

Sandberg said the attack was planned on other platforms, such as Parler, the "free speech" app that conservatives flocked to after the election.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO testifies during a Senate (Select) Intelligence Committee hearing where they testified on the influence of foreign operations on social media on September 5, 2018. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on Monday said that the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week was largely organized on other internet services, not on Facebook. "We again took down QAnon, Proud Boys, Stop the Steal, anything that was taking about possible violence last week," Sandberg said in a live-streamed interview with Reuters. I think these events were largely organized on platforms that don't have our abilities to stop hate, don't have our standards and don't have our transparency." But there were still plenty of groups who were able to post on Facebook about storming the Capitol building before the riots last week.

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg speaks on stage during Facebook session at the Cannes Lions 2019 : Day Three on June 19, 2019 in Cannes, France. Google and Facebook pledged to help one another if they ever faced an investigation into their pact to work together in online advertising, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. The story is based on an unredacted version of a lawsuit filed by 10 U.S. states against Google last week that was seen by the Journal. Google and Facebook reportedly made a deal in September 2018 in which Facebook agreed not to compete with Google's online advertising tools. The lawsuit reportedly states that Google and Facebook knew their deal could result in antitrust investigations.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg recently argued against the two antitrust lawsuits filed this week that could result in the divestment of Instagram and WhatsApp, saying that Facebook's 2012 and 2014 acquisitions were already cleared by by the U.S. government. Sandberg also argued against the notion that Facebook does not face competition. "There's our services but there's iMessage, there's TikTok, there's Snapchat, many of which have grown very big, very quickly," Sandberg said. "I can't get my own kids to post on Instagram because they're so busy on Snapchat and TikTok. You know, if you want to get electricity today for your home, you've got one choice, but you've got lots of choice for your time and attention."

In its newly released "Women in the Workplace" report, Lean In and McKinsey & Company found that one in four women are considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce due to the impact of Covid-19. "This is the most alarming report we've ever seen," Facebook's chief operating officer and Lean In founder Sheryl Sandberg tells CNBC Make It. For the first time in the six years the report has been done, Lean In and McKinsey and Company researchers are seeing evidence of women leaving the workforce at higher rates than men. In the previous six years of this study, data has shown women and men leaving their companies at similar rates. "You know, mothers are spending 20 more hours a week on housework and child care during coronavirus than fathers.

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg speaks on stage during Facebook session at the Cannes Lions 2019 : Day Three on June 19, 2019 in Cannes, France. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on Thursday told CNBC that the social media company expects to hire an additional 10,000 people for its product and engineering teams by the end of 2020. Sandberg also announced that starting on Thursday the company will make it possible for small businesses to sell gift cards to customers through Facebook. Additionally, the social network is also now allowing small businesses to run fundraisers on Facebook, Sandberg said. Most notably, the company launched a $100 million program to support small businesses, with ad credits and cash grants.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on Wednesday said the company's lessons learned from its numerous mistakes over the past couple of years has prepared it to deal with the crises caused by the coronavirus pandemic. From 2017 through 2019, Facebook dealt with a conga line of scandals. Now, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Sandberg said Facebook is doing its best to move as quickly as possible. Over the past two months, Facebook has taken a number of steps to address the coronavirus pandemic. The company has met with the World Health Organization and tech leaders to discuss what solutions Silicon Valley can offer.

But the company's economic engine is advertising, which is often one of the first items that businesses cut during a financial downturn. Across California, New York and other states, restaurants and hotels have closed or drastically reduced their operations. Airlines are reportedly considering a voluntary shutdown, events and concerts have been canceled and retailers have shut their stores and moved all commerce online. In early February, Twitter said first-quarter sales would be between $825 million and $885 million. He added in a note on Tuesday that in the near term, TV ad revenue will be "relatively better insulated than online revenues."

Facebook on Tuesday announced a $100 million program to help small businesses as governments throughout the country urge gyms and restaurants to close their doors to slow the coronavirus pandemic. Facebook said the grants will be available for up to 30,000 eligible small businesses in over 30 countries. It could help businesses experiencing a sharp drop in traffic, but it's a fraction of Facebook's typical revenue. The company said the program can help businesses with rent and operational costs, maintaining workforce and connecting with customers. Facebook has long prided itself on being a place where small businesses can market their services at an affordable price by targeting a small, relevant group of users.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's operating chief, said on Tuesday that the company will do what it can to help its employees and small businesses as the coronavirus spreads and wreaks havoc on the economy. "We're going to keep responding to the need that we see," Sandberg told CNBC's Jim Cramer on "Mad Money." Sandberg's comments came after Facebook announced that it's launching a $100 million program to help 30,000 small businesses around the world, while giving its nearly 45,000 full-time employees $1,000 bonus to pay for their remote work supplies or unexpected childcare costs. The company also plans to give every employee the highest possible performance review rating, maximizing their bonuses for the first half of 2020, she said. "We want to communicate it's safer to be at home," Sandberg said.

Sandberg, 50, posted a picture of her and Tom Bernthal, the co-founder and chief executive officer of consulting firm Kelton Global, on her Instagram and Facebook profiles.

Bernthal had previously worked in the White House under President Bill Clinton and for NBC News, where he was an Emmy Award-winning television producer.

Political ads make up such a tiny fraction of their revenues, both CEOs have said, that this is a matter of principle, not profit. But here's the subtext: Political advertising matters much less to Twitter than Facebook because political advertisers already leaned much more heavily on Facebook to get their messages out. For Twitter, shirking political ads is a relatively easy way to stir up headlines and gain praise from prominent Democrats, while sticking it to a competitor. Middle groundDespite Facebook and Twitter's slippery slope arguments, the solution to fair digital political advertising doesn't need to lie in the extremes, according to half a dozen political advertising researchers interviewed for this article. Current and past political ads are available in a searchable archives on Facebook and other platforms, however.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg opened up, just a bit, Tuesday about her 2020 political views at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit. In an interview with Katie Couric, Sandberg declined multiple times to put her support behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren, but acknowledged she is likely to support the Democratic nominee and would like her kids to see a woman president. "I imagine I will support a Democratic nominee," Sandberg told Couric. "I have spoken for many years about my desire for my daughter and yours to see a woman as president." Asked Tuesday to elaborate on what Zuckerberg meant by that, Sandberg said, "we'll have to see."

(CNN) - Congress is concerned about Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency, and one committee wants to question the folks in charge: Both Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg have been asked to testify before the House Financial Services Committee about Facebook's plans for Libra. Facebook has said Libra will be governed by an independent, third-party organization, the Libra Association, though many of that group's member companies have ties to Facebook. Facebook and the Libra Association have promised not to launch Libra until these regulatory concerns are addressed. Marcus is also among the few initial leaders of the Libra Association. That same month, privacy regulators from around the world including FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra sent a letter to the Libra Association companies asking how Libra users' privacy will be protected.

Four hours after President Donald Trump took another swipe at Big Tech, the White House announced Wednesday it will hold a summit on social media on July 11. Trump also said tech companies should be sued for what he claimed was their bias against conservatives. In May, the White House launched a social media survey that asked people to report instances of social media bias. Trump and other conservatives aren't the only ones criticizing tech companies. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called for the breakup of large tech companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google and Apple.
