Some workers pooled their money or had meals delivered to their homes.

Meta has fired about two dozen staff in Los Angeles for using their $25 meal credits to buy household items including acne pads, wine glasses, and laundry detergent. The revamp has included cutting some staff and relocating others, several people familiar with the decisions said, in a sign that chief executive Mark Zuckerberg’s recent efficiency drive is still under way. The person, who indicated they had a salary of about $400,000 at Meta and worked “nights [and] weekends,” wrote that they had admitted to the oversight when human resources investigated the practice, before later being unexpectedly fired.
