Meta Platforms Inc. has fired approximately two dozen employees in its Los Angeles office for misusing company-provided $25 Grubhub meal credits. The staff members were dismissed after allegedly using the meal perks to purchase household items such as acne pads, wine glasses, and laundry detergent, rather than meals. This action is part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's ongoing efficiency drive and follows recent restructuring efforts affecting teams like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs.
