Mark Zuckerberg shares rude Lord of the Rings nickname given to him by Facebook staff

dailystar.co.uk:

Mark Zuckerberg has admitted he knows what Facebook employees call him behind his back—and it's not exactly flattering.The Meta CEO and Facebook founder spoke at length in a wide-ranging interview with The Tim Ferriss Show, covering everything from the metaverse to his unusual morning routines.

However, when he opened up about his approach to work, he revealed the cheeky nickname given to him by his employees: the Eye of Sauron.Zuckerberg said: "Some of the folks who I work with at the company, I think they say lovingly, but I think that they sometimes refer to my attention as the Eye of Sauron, in that basically, they’re like, “You have this unending amount of energy to go work on something.

And if you point that at any given team, you will just burn them."Sauron, aka the Dark Lord of Mordor, is the main villain in Lord of The Rings.

Sauron famously has a gigantic burning eye on top of a terrifying tower which petrifies anyone it looks at. Facebook's working culture is famous for being quite casual socially, unlike Mordor, but staff are often expected to work long hours and hit demanding short-term targets.According to leaked documents, one manager at the company reportedly said working there was like playing "alien chess" with a grandmaster.In the Tim Ferriss interview, Zuckerberg also talked about his work-life habits and why he surfs or fence every morning.
