The Facebook team and I dropped by
Walmart headquarters for some heavy marketing discussions.
I gave Z-man a personalized t-shirt. Look at his grin.

Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg book ‘Lean In’ offers terrible feminist advice for working women - NYPOST.com:


Sheryl Sandberg is hazardous to women.
The chief operating officer of Facebook, the universe’s top working mom, has reinvented herself as a latter-day guru to the fair sex — the rare lady who strives to give a leg up to the sisterhood.
But those who follow Sheryl’s lead are bound to be disappointed — bitter, broke, unemployed, and perpetually single.
To scads of fawning journalists and admirers, Sheryl, just Sheryl, is a pretty, but not too pretty and not too thin, 43-year-old working mom — just like us!
Sheryl (right) and her two kids live in a California mansion with a husband who does laundry. Her big career atop the giant social-media company made her a billionaire before menopause.

Did I mention that she’s filthy, stinking rich?
We are currently witnessing the Sheryl Moment. Her face, always tilted to a 15-degree angle to show she’s listening —or bored silly —is everywhere.
She appeared on “60 Minutes’’ last Sunday, annoying the bejeezus out of lesser females by declaring, in a soft voice, that if you’re not CEO of a Fortune 500 company yet, then it’s your own, damn fault.
The next day, her instant best seller came out, “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead’’ — which she called a “sort of feminist manifesto.’’ Mayor Bloomberg threw her a sort of book party.
Not unexpectedly, Sheryl was quickly savaged by jealous women who don’t own her pair of Harvard degrees, connections, Louboutins, or permission from their bosses to leave work every day at 5:30 for dinner with the kids.
These women also were not mentored by Sheryl’s economics professor, Larry Summers, who recruited her to the World Bank before age 30. Sheryl then left to become a Google exec.
