Sarah’s Reviews > Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism > Status Update

Seriously? You go on a work trip expecting to swim. You have had scars on your midsection since you were a teenager. But you pack a bikini and it never occurs to you beforehand to think that you might be selfconscious about your Very Important colleagues seeing the scars? And also you are a new mother and you have not thought about whether the bikini will fit? Absolutely hopeless.

I need fewer anecdotes about how hopeless and helpless the author is and more evidence that the Facebook execs are whatever she claims they are. The breast pump stories absolutely enraged me. She is incapable of advocating for herself to make sure she has what she needs in order to take these business trips which always seem to be pointless and unsuccessful and never her fault.

Up to chapter 8 and nothing has happened that makes me think well of the author.

I am finding it very difficult to begin to appreciate the author's point of view. Regardless of how terrible Sheryl and Mark are, Sarah Wynn-Williams has not impressed me with her diligence or ability at any point. She positions herself as wanting to do good but in such a vague way. The few positions she has taken she has not supported. Why didn't she know how the NZ PM would arrive?

Is she naïve or just not a very interesting writer?
