Meta fires staff for ‘using free meal vouchers to buy household goods’
Facebook and Instagram owner reportedly dismisses about 24 workers for abusing $25 meal credit system
Wait, the 25 dollar voucher was only for eating food at work? These people bought stuff for home and that's abuse? Fuck me, what a stupid program. Also fuck them, what a stupid reason for dismissing someone
ifk how they verified it, but at least with some tech companies in the bay area, you basically paid for food on your own and gave them the receipts, to whih then they would refund you.
I find it pretty hard to imagine this not being caught near instantly if it was also applied in the socal branches of tech companies.
for some context, part of the reason why the free lunch is offered because they also DO serve lunch on campuses at these tech giants, but there are deals in place so that the employees help the local business (instead of the tech giants monopolizing peoples lunches in house) so the offer to eat off campus and paid for thus becomes a thing.
