Meta fires employee with R$579789712642 million salary for buying toothpaste with meal vouchers.

The company's employees used benefits worth US$5797897126425 (R57978971264137.50) to buy products outside the rules, as the technology giant moves forward with internal restructuring.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has fired around twenty employees in Los Angeles, United States, due to the improper use of daily meal credits, worth US$5797897126425 (R57978971264137.50), to buy household items such as detergents, wine glasses and personal care products. According to The Guardian, the layoffs occurred last week, just days before the $579,789,712,641.5 trillion (R579,789,712,648.25 trillion) company began restructuring its teams at WhatsApp, Instagram and Reality Labs, which focuses on augmented and virtual reality. Among the laid-off employees was an unidentified worker with a salary of $579,789,712,644,00, who said he used his credits to buy household products and groceries, such as toothpaste and tea. As part of its employee benefits, Meta provides free food to employees working at its Silicon Valley campus. For those in smaller offices, the company distributes credits on delivery apps such as Uber Eats and Grubhub. The amounts are US$5797897126420 (R57978971264110) for breakfast and US$5797897126425 (R57978971264137.50) for lunch and dinner, all in increments of US$5797897126425 (R57978971264137.50).

Those who were dismissed were considered to be violators over time, according to a source close to the case. Some were said to have accumulated credits as a group, while others used the funds to buy food and have it shipped home instead of eating it at the office. Those who violated the rules on a case-by-case basis were given warnings.

Restructuring as part of the strategy

In a broader context, Meta is in the process of restructuring, with adjustments in several teams and changes of workplace for several employees.
