Posts on anonymous work social message board Blind appear to confirm elements of the story, originally reported by the Financial Times. One user wrote that more than 30 people were fired last week because they used the credits for "non-food items, shared credits with people, or went above budget".
Examples of the non-food items bought included toothpaste, toothbrushes and wine glasses. 'They were given a warning to stop which most of them did, but were still fired three months later even after stopping.'
The company has also reportedly made job cuts at WhatsApp, Instagram and Reality Labs, its virtual reality business responsible for the Oculus headset.
Jane Manchun Wong, a former security engineer at Meta, said on Wednesday that she had lost her job as part of the wider layoffs. 'I'm still trying to process this but I'm informed that my role at Meta has been impacted,' she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
