Think your boss is scary? Check out the brutal emails these tech CEOs sent their employees.

  • A terse 2016 email from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has gone viral.
  • He told his employees to just "figure out how to do" something, offering little help.

Face it. We've all had a boss (or two) who scared us. It's a canon event, but it can still be an alarming one for those who have never dealt with it before.

Employees at Meta, for instance, may be feeling the scary boss angst as newly released emails from a terse Mark Zuckerberg went viral this week.

"You should figure out how to do this," the CEO wrote to a subordinate in 2016, according to documents released by a California court this week.

Yikes. Here are some other times executives in the tech sector probably gave their employees the chills over email.
