Sarah Wynn-Williams , former head of global policy at Facebook, wrote Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism .

The book is a self-aware woman with an important point to make, not an Omarosa -style embarrassment to herself.

Facebook execs were too arrogant to have a clue what it's doing, she says.

Mark Zuckerberg seems more Trump -like than we knew, says former Facebook COO .

He's the boy king who thinks he gets it, oblivious to layers of people trying to manage his moods.

Like Trump , Zuckerberg gets seduced by the power of crowds, asks if his team can arrange "a riot or a peace rally".

Sheryl Sandberg asked a pregnant Facebook employee to sleep with her on a private jet.

Sheryl Wynn-Williams says she repeatedly declined the request, but Sandberg storms off.

She says she notices Sandberg "beginning to ice me out" after the PJs incident.

Careless People alleges Sandberg 's male manager took conversations with her direct report in a sexual direction.
