I’m all for sticking it to corporations every chance you get, but if you’re making 400k, maybe don’t be a twat.

If your company is providing free meals, do you really need to scam that system?
I would love to have free meals.

I’m going to put $100 into food and $0 into household goods. I’m out $100 and I need a toaster.
Company: Please have $100 in free food.
I’m now going to put that $100 into food and move the $100 I was paying into household goods. Yay! Toaster!
Clearly there’s an element missing. Surely people aren’t this dim. Surely. Please lie to me if they are.
Why would you scam something that so fluid?

My father and other elders told about so many good perks offered during 70’s till almost 2000’s. Most of them got pulled due to similar abuses by employees.

So the incentive was provided to encourage employees to stay and be more productive at work. Using it to order household supplies is not giving the company any benefit.

So employees were given 25$ credits for Uber Eats/Doordash and some employees used the credit at places like Dollar General instead of McDonalds. Sounds like an excuse for Meta to kill the benefit for everyone, quietly layoff staff, and place the blame on their employees.

The employees working at smaller facilities were given credits totaling $70 per day? The woman mentioned in the article was abusing the system on a $400k salary? Meta could save a lot on money by taking away the credit system AND the oversight of it.

So the credit is for GrubHub/DoorDash/etc. and then they used the grocery/convenience store services offered by those apps? I wonder if Meta made that clear to the employees that they weren’t supposed to use that service. But still seems like nitpicking to me to police what exactly they use the delivery credit for. If everyone’s getting the same dollar amount per day anyway the company has already accounted for that money going out daily.
Idk, it seems like a weird thing to fire someone over but I guess they’re entitled to set a rule. I’m just suspicious of the timing being right when they announced “restructuring.” Might be just looking for excuses to lay people off…

I’ve worked in many white collar offices, and hotels (hotels used to feed their staff for free, at least where I worked). People get weird over free food. In offices where we had catered food for the meetings, co workers would walk by closed conference room doors like they were looking for a drug dealer. Co-workers who were making good money would jump on leftovers from meetings, store some in the office fridge, and take some home.
Of course, it’s better to not let food go to waste. But they would swarm over the food. One worker would bring her Tupperware with her, and scoop up any chicken breasts or strips for herself, as much as she wanted.

the writing is on the wall when they get rid of free milk and cereal

So how exactly did they do this? They used the Uber Eats platform to order household items instead of food?
