Katherine Losse, Facebook employee #51, rose through the ranks from customer support to Mark Zuckerberg’s ghostwriter.
She visited WSJ’s Digits show today to discuss her new book, “The Boy Kings: A Journey into the Heart of the Social Network.” In the book, she characterizes the early days at Facebook as something of a frat-like boys club.
At one point, she writes: “The company’s entire human-resources architecture was constructed on the reactionary model of an office from the 1950s, in which men…were idolized as brilliant and visionary while everyone else were assumed to be duller…It was like ‘Mad Men.’”

Sounds about right. One could sense it from Zuck’s regal demeanor—oh but wearing a hoodie to be one of us.
