Your fine with people violating your trust? Because that's what you're advocating.
If people are going to show they're willing to scam the company and steal from it, why would you keep them around.
Sorry, I would have a zero tolerance policy on theft. I've seen it first hand in a small business and in a massive retailer, not cool.
Corps keep squeezing labor more and more, time to squeeze back a piddling little bit
Implying any of us are equivalent to a $1.5 trillion social media monopoly that has more political and social power than any other organization on the planet. Sure Jan, any one of us is exactly like that.
I would just give them the voucher if they are in the office and let them decide what to do with it.
Shut the fuck up lmaooooo they already expect the employees to spend $25 per day, meal or not.
There’s no maliciousness from employees at that point, only real people trying to meet their needs so that they can keep working. FOR YOU!
Where’s the scam? If the company is providing a $25 credit as a benefit, then they should just give the employees $25. Why should Meta get a say in how it’s spent?
Because that's part of the deal. They get free credits for 3 meals a day as an added bonus but they broke the very simple terms that came with those. That makes the employees untrustworthy since they can't keep a very simple promise.
Also they probably have to spend them that way because it becomes plain income otherwise, which means it will be taxed accordingly. And that will ruin this benefit for anyone.
Fuck meta and stuff, but this is a pretty great deal for employees.
Really depends on how valuable all of the staff are. I too have seen theft of small and large offices I've worked in. Personally didn't buy pens until I started working from home. I also did the accounting and budgeting for office supplies and products from the product line (beer), which sometimes had free samples taken from it. Executives loved to grab samples daily. We ensured this was added to employees paychecks as a perk for tax purposes, but not down to the individual beer. We also had talks with anyone who took over their fair share.
The cost always came down to pennies per person. Their value as a worker was typically more valuable then micromanaging them and creating an environment where they were punished. Average employee made more for the company daily then what they took home. If they knew it was fine within some limits (which most did and I would argue these Meta workers were within given their pay/value of the company), it's actually better to just ignore it.
Now the remaining employees and future employees know any mistake could cost them their job, with no major warning, just 2 strikes and your out.
When you take this personally ("violating your trust"), you end up creating a shitty place to work to soothe your ego.
Have you worked for a corpo?
"Trust" lol
