Meta fired about two dozen people in the company’s Los Angeles office last week for misusing a $25 dinner voucher over an extended period of time. One employee made $400,000 per year.

Meta gives employees a $20 credit for breakfast, $25 for lunch, and $25 for dinner through Grubhub or Uber Eats. Instead of using the $25 credit to buy dinner and have it delivered to the office, some Meta staff opted to buy items like toothpaste and wine glasses with the credit, per The Financial Times. Or they would get dinner delivered at home or pool their credit money together.

The staff who were let go routinely misused their vouchers, while others who misapplied them less frequently, were reprimanded but not fired.

The Meta employee who made $400,000 wrote on an anonymous messaging platform that being let go over the meal credit was “surreal.”

Meta started a new round of layoffs on Wednesday that affected teams across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality Labs. It’s unclear how many people were affected.

Meta reported 22% revenue growth, or revenue of $39.07 billion, in its second quarter in late July. In an earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company was “driving good growth” and that Meta AI was “on track to be the most used AI assistant in the world by the end of the year.”
