Fun fact

If you’re ever invited to a works Christmas party with all the big bosses, don’t overthink it – just go! You never know who you might bump into... That’s the advice Sheryl Sandberg might pass on, who bumped into Mark Zuckerberg at a party in late 2007. She was working for Google at the time, but Zuckerberg and her got on so well that she was made the COO of Facebook in 2008. A very Merry Christmas indeed!
