Facebook's parent company, Meta, has fired approximately 24 employees in their Los Angeles office for misusing their $25 meal vouchers. Instead of using the vouchers for food, the employees were found to have purchased non-food items such as household goods. Meta's food allowance is $75 per day, and the employees who were fired were considered habitual abusers of the system. This incident comes amidst a broader team reorganization at Meta, resulting in job cuts across WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs.
