These moves are prepared months in advance. I'm not sure why you would link an unrelated trial about a movie star to the announcement. Sheryl is a billionaire, she probably wants to take time off.

They told you why, to bury the news, which they all have an incentive to do. If it wasn't the trial verdict (which is dominating the news), they could have waited until something else to displace it. News outlets have finite space and time and the public has a finite attention span, not too hard to take advantage of that.


Prepared months in advance, but there's some flexibility on the exact timing of the announcement.

EDIT: Apparently this was not actually prepared months in advance.

> I’m told that Sheryl Sandberg notified Mark Zuckerberg that she would step down over the weekend
