Meta fired over twenty employees this week for abusing the company's daily food credits. Employees were caught using their dining dollars on various non-food products, such as wine glasses, laundry detergent, and other items.  Some employees also used the daily food credits to order food to their houses while working remotely. The affected employees are from the company’s Los Angeles office. The Los Angeles office is smaller than other Meta corporate office locations around the United States, so the building doesn’t have a food court for employees. The office provides workers with daily food credits to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, workers are given 20 dollars, and for lunch and dinner, workers are given 25 dollars respectively. The daily food credits allow workers to deliver food to the office when they are working long days, so they do not have to leave to order food or spend their own money to purchase meals. A regulatory filing from this year showed that the average annual employee salary is around 379,000 dollars.
