Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, meanwhile, is portrayed as a micromanager and someone who is "fanatical about her public image" andreportedly known to ''scream at underlings''.

However, Facebook spokesperson Liz Bourgeois said that "I doubt this is true and if so it would have been at our communications team's request, but surely anyone who has ever worn a grey t-shirt can relate".
