So they got all mad that some employees decided to pack lunch and use the credits for regular supplies
No, they pretended to get mad so they had an excuse to cut their workforce without having it labeled a layoff.
including acne pads, wine glasses, and laundry detergent.
I also get about 25$ a day for meals. They accumulate over the month. At the end of the month I just buy shit from the market with them including alcohol and cleaning products and what not. They dont fucking care!!
I also get about 25$ a day for meals.
That's crazy though. $25 a day in meals for 1 person is genuine luxury.
Have you seen fast food prices recently? $25 is a meal deal with one additional burger/taco because the meal is too small to feed anyone older than a toddler.
Not saying that fast food is the cheapest option anymore, but it is a common option.
Until they need an excuse to fire someone
I would just convince everyone at the company to use their full credit every single day from now on. Give the food to a homeless person or something.
Fired for illegally feeding the homeless.
Staff are given daily allowances of $20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, and $25 for dinner, with meal credits issued in $25 increments.
Hot damn this is absolutely wild. Even if you only look at lunch, that’s ~$6k/person. If you add in breakfast and dinner that’s ~$17k/person.
I'm pretty sure I've lived on less than this in inflation adjusted dollars.
As someone who works at Meta:
Ya the benefits are nice.
I hear the same doesn't go for contractors
They get the free food but ya their benefits are worse
Sounds like that one evil corp homer worked for.
You better not be talking shit of my boi Hank Scorpio!
Hank Scorpio did nothing wrong.
