Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.

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.

As someone who works at Meta:

Ya the benefits are nice.
