大家都說今年對于Facebook而言是充滿了挑戰的一年，不但各種丑聞纏身，春天爆出了劍橋分析丑聞，最近又有報道稱其首席運營官謝麗爾·桑德伯格曾下令調查索羅斯，而且還沒能阻止俄羅斯干擾2016年美國大選。

種種危機不僅已經影響了公司股價，現在似乎還在員工之間畫出了分界線。

根據BuzzFeed新聞報道，Facebook員工現在似乎劃分成了三個陣營。仍有一些人對Facebook創始人兼CEO馬克·扎克伯格以及桑德伯格保持忠誠，第二種人認為危機的根源在于有偏見的媒體攻擊，還有一種人認為公司正在全面垮臺。

Facebook的一名前高級職員告訴BuzzFeed，當前的形勢引發了一種背水一戰的“地堡心態”，人們認為“要想活下去，唯一的戰略是在放棄和全盤接受中二選一。”

Facebook歷任員工的觀點似乎的確流露出這種心態。一些員工告訴BuzzFeed，他們寄希望于所謂“桑達爾（谷歌現任CEO）或達拉（Uber現任CEO）出現的時刻”，他們指的是谷歌和Uber領導層經歷的變更。但另外一些人就沒這么樂觀了，他們認為員工之間的猜忌已經到了一定程度，“人們現在說公司壞話都要用一次性手機——而且甚至都不是向記者吐槽，只是員工之間彼此吐槽。”

BuzzFeed還從Facebook員工用來匿名評論的半公開留言板Blind上選了幾則留言發表。其中一條說針對桑德伯格的指控是“毫無根據的媒體炒作”，另外一個人卻認為“媒體將繼續攻擊我們、曝光我們……除非她離職，公司進行了人事改組。”

與此同時，至少有一位用戶對公司及其管理層毫不懷疑，寫道：“我愛謝麗爾。因為馬克中意謝麗爾。這是馬克的公司，不是你們誰的。他比你們更了解謝麗爾，也比你們更知道公司需要什么。”該用戶還補充道：“我相信馬克。如果馬克把公司帶到了溝里，那也是把他自己的公司帶到了溝里。既然你覺得懂得比他多，那就去別的公司吧，要么自己開家公司。”

Facebook向BuzzFeed承認公司正在度過一段“困難時期”，正如公司在一則聲明中寫道：“我們比任何時候都更加堅定，我們下定決心要在當前面臨的種種問題上繼續取得進展。”（財富中文網）

By all accounts, Facebook has had a challenging year, plagued by scandals varying from Cambridge Analytica in the spring to recent reports that COO Sheryl Sandberg ordered research on George Soros and failed to stop Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The crises have already had an impact on share prices, but now appear to be drawing lines between Facebook employees as well.

According to a report from BuzzFeed News, employees are now seemingly divided into three groups. Some are maintaining their loyalty to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sandberg, others think the crisis is the result of biased media attacks, and a third believe a full-blown corporate meltdown is on its way.

One former senior employee told BuzzFeed that the situation has triggered a “bunker mentality” in which “the only survival strategy is to quit or fully buy in.”

Comments from current and former Facebook employees seem to reflect this mentality. Some employees told BuzzFeed that they are holding out hope for a “Sundar or Dara moment,” referring to the leadership changes at Google and Uber. But others were less optimistic, suggesting that paranoia among employees have reached a point that “people now have burner phones to talk shit about the company—not even to reporters, just to other employees.”

BuzzFeed also published several comments made on Blind, a semi-public anonymous messaging board for current and former employees. One person called allegations against Sandberg “baseless media propaganda,” while another argued that “the media will keep attacking and exposing us…until she is gone and there is a shakeup.”

Meanwhile, at least one user appeared to have no qualms about the company or its executive team, writing, “I love Sheryl. Because Mark loves Sheryl. This is Mark’s company, not yours. He knows Sheryl better than you do and knows what this company needs better than you do.” The person added: “I trust Mark. And if Mark drives the company into the ground it’s his company to drive into the ground. Go work somewhere else or go start your own company if you know so much better than him.”

Facebook acknowledged it was a “challenging time” to BuzzFeed, saying in a statement: “We are more determined than ever to continue making progress on the issues we’ve faced.”
