According to those who claimed to be employed by Meta, other rules violations included going over budget or sharing the vouchers with third parties.
There are conflicting reports about how much notice, if any, the owners of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram gave their employees before terminating them.
In addition, it has reportedly reduced employment throughout the corporation. We’ve reached out to Meta for comment.
The $25 (£19) lunch, $20 breakfast, and $25 dinner coupons issued to Meta employees are intended to be used to place meal orders from Grubhub, the US name for the takeout website Just Eat.
Elements of the incident, which was first published by the Financial Times, seem to be confirmed by posts on the anonymous work social chat board Blind.
According to one user, over thirty employees were let go last week for using the credits for “non-food items, sharing credits with people, or going above budget.”
Among the non-food goods purchased were wine glasses, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.
The user claimed that after receiving warnings to cease, which the majority of them did, they were nonetheless dismissed three months later.
While some users wrote that there were no warnings, others reiterated the assertion that staff members had received warnings.
