founder Facebook Mark Zuckerberg gathered 50 of the company's top managers in June and told them that the social network was in a "state of war" and appropriate management methods were needed. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the businessman’s words.

Zuckerberg explained to the audience that in times of peace, executives can move slowly, consulting the board of directors on key decisions. However, with Facebook under attack from authorities, investors and angry users, it needs to act more decisively, the entrepreneur said. According to the founder of the social network, Facebook was slow to react to what was happening to it recently. He demanded that his colleagues “accelerate progress” in addressing issues of slowing user base growth and platform security.

The businessman's new approach caused "unprecedented turmoil" among Facebook management . Several key top managers left the company. Disagreements also arose between Zuckerberg and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, the newspaper notes.

The New York Times reported on November 14 about tension in Facebook's management arising from the crisis situations in which the company finds itself. For example, employees did not know how to respond to political advertising campaigns on social media. The publication pointed to the complex relationship between Sandberg and Alex Stamos, a former security officer at the company. The social network also waged campaigns against its critics, journalists found.

Zuckerberg then spent an hour answering questions from employees on dozens of topics, such as Facebook's response to incidents over the past year and a half and how the company should handle media leaks. Three sources familiar with the matter told the newspaper about this.
