Lawyers at Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are examining the use of resources by Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg going back several years, The Wall Street Journal reports.
A review that has been underway since at least last fall has dug into the extent to which Meta staffers worked on Sandberg's personal projects, according to the report - including work to support her Lean In foundation as well as writing and promoting her second book.

That adds to previous reporting that the probe was tackling Sandberg's use of corporate resources to plan an upcoming wedding, which the WSJ says now makes up a smaller part of the investigation.
The report notes people close to Sandberg say while the probe has irked her, it played no role in her recent decision to leave the company.

META stock is down 4% on the day Friday.
Sandberg, a longtime valued lieutenant for CEO Mark Zuckerberg, announced her departure on June 1 after spending 14 years with the company.
