Meta Terminates Employees for Misuse of Meal Credits in Los Angeles

 



Los Angeles, CA – In a surprising turn of events, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has terminated approximately 24 employees at its Los Angeles offices for misusing their $25 meal credits. Reports indicate that these meal credits, intended for food purchases, were allegedly used to buy non-food items such as toothpaste, laundry detergent, and even wine glasses.

Investigation Uncovers Abuse of Meal System

The decision to terminate these employees came after an internal investigation revealed that some staff were taking advantage of the meal system. Allegations included taking food home even when they were not present in the office, which violates company policy.

One employee, reportedly earning $400,000 annually, admitted to using their meal credits for household groceries, explaining, “I didn’t want to waste the dinner credit.” This admission highlights a broader issue of employees misinterpreting or bending the rules regarding meal benefits.

While some employees faced reprimands for their actions, those who repeatedly violated the rules were subject to termination. Meta’s swift action underscores the company’s commitment to maintaining integrity and proper use of employee benefits.

Meta has implemented meal credit systems to promote employee well-being and foster a positive workplace culture. However, the misuse of these benefits has prompted the company to review its policies and ensure that employees understand the intended purpose of such programs.
