Meta fires staffers who misused $25 meal credits to buy wine glasses, acne pads: report
Meta has reportedly fired Los Angeles staffers for abusing a $25 meal credit perk to stock up on household supplies like wine glasses, acne pads and laundry detergent.
Facebook and Instagram parent Meta has reportedly fired about two dozen staffers in Los Angeles for abusing a $25 daily meal perk to stock up on household supplies like wine glasses, acne pads and laundry detergent.
The fired workers were found to have misused the delivery credit – which workers can use on services like GrubHub or UberEats if they stay at the office late or are based in offices that lack a kitchen – over a long period of time, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The firings were part of a broader restructuring at Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant that sparked job cuts across multiple business segments on Tuesday, including its Instagram, WhatsApp and Reality Labs teams.
Employees axed over meal program shenanigans were reportedly informed last week.
Some Meta staffers grumbled about the clampdown on Blind, an app verifies that its users work at the companies they claim but allows them to remain anonymous.
