Departing Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg announced her resignation from the tech giant during an ongoing probe into her alleged use of corporate resources to plan her wedding, according to a report Thursday.
Sandberg, 52, shocked the business world Wednesday with her decision to quit as Meta’s chief operating officer, saying she wanted to focus on her nuptials and future philanthropic efforts.
But the powerful executive also reportedly felt burned out after building Facebook into a global force and scrutiny of her every move — which includes a review by Meta into her upcoming wedding to marketing CEO Tom Bernthal.
Meta’s probe into whether Sandberg misappropriated company resources to plan the bash was still ongoing as of May, sources familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
The investigation comes after a separate inquiry into allegations that Sandberg pressured the Daily Mail to spike a critical story about her then-boyfriend, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick.

sounds like an excuse to get rid of an affirmative action hire.
I think she’s not guilty.
Sounds like embezzlement. A crime just by the way.
Facebook is so 2010’s, no one under 30 would be caught dead using it. My prediction, in less than 10 years it will be bankrupt and gone.
I was wondering the same thing. Top executives are always using their company’s assets for their own benefit.
It’s illegal if it’s a government agency. You can’t use our tax money for yourself, even though it’s done all the time, but this is not the government.
Interesting theory. 🧐
It is wrong, in my opinion. No matter the presence or absence of any illegalities.
Caught up in her own quicksand.
The only reason to marry *that* would be to divorce it quickly for cash and prizes.
Meanwhile, Mark is using his funds to destroy a country.
So Zuck hired a female version of himself who is just as immoral and when she steals from him and bites him he wonders why?
*SNORT*
And still, Hillary! roams free! *SPIT*
She’ll be replaced by someone at least as loathsome.
Leaned in; booted out.
Depends on the resource.
I have used our travel agency for personal travel. We have to pay all costs, but do get to use the company discounts for setting it up.
Same with using your work laptop outside of working hours to get mower parts (Yes, I do that).
That is standard and not a problem. But using things like company funds to do something personal is a ticket out. Heck, i accidently bought a soda with a company credit card (my personal card looked the same) and THAT was a huge amount of paperwork and pain for me to sort out. Not because of the cost. I paid that immediately. But to make sure I understood that it was not acceptable. The comptroller laughed about it later, but there were cases were people charged up a lot of personal costs on the company dime.
If she did it or not Meta may not to push it to far she has a lot to tell about off the record items?.
Sounds like a perfect fit for either the Biden administration or one of the major "news" broadcasters.
Well, Mrs. Bill Clinton got away with it while planning her daughter's wedding.
Maybe Sandberg's crime was planning to marry, gasp, a man!
