Meta Fires Employees After Shocking Abuse of Meal Vouchers

Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, recently fired about 24 employees from its Los Angeles office. These employees misused company meal credits, which are meant for food, to buy non-food items like laundry detergent and wine glasses.

Meta gives meal credits to workers in offices without cafeterias, allowing them to order food while working long hours. However, some employees used these credits improperly, such as ordering food to their homes instead of the office.

The company found out through an investigation and took action by firing those involved. This incident is part of broader changes at Meta, which has laid off many employees recently to focus on its long-term goals and cut costs.
