When Idealism Meets Silicon Valley's Reality
The shark attack that nearly claimed my life at thirteen instilled a profound sense of purpose-I needed to do something meaningful with my borrowed time. This drive led me through diplomatic corridors at the United Nations and eventually to Facebook, where I believed I could help shape a revolutionary force for global good. In 2011, as I walked into Facebook's concrete-and-graffiti DC office, I was convinced the platform would transform global politics. What I couldn't foresee was how this transformation would unfold-not as the democratic renaissance I imagined, but as something far more troubling. Facebook's culture hit me like a tidal wave-punishing workloads alongside childish perks, where early employees became instant millionaires while newcomers struggled financially. The company demanded total dedication, with Sheryl Sandberg later admitting they deliberately overloaded employees because "the answer to work is more work." Our team faced daily chaos-from ISIS beheading videos to diplomatic crises-while management maintained a surprisingly simplistic view: we run a website connecting people, making it profitable and growing it. No grand ideology needed. But some of us believed Facebook would eventually need a coherent philosophy to guide its growing influence. This fundamental tension-between Facebook's self-perception as a simple tech company and its emerging role as a global power broker-would define my years there and ultimately reveal how dangerously unprepared the company was for the responsibility it had assumed.
