$400k salary and they need daily allowances (over $17k/yr tax free) for breakfast, lunch and dinner? The IRS should be looking into that to make sure they are "working" meals because that's the only reason they should get meal allowances.

On an even more serious note I saw an article a few days ago where FB was up to their dirty old tricks again.

One of their commies..I mean mangers admitted they were using algorithms to diminish the sharing of anti-Harris news posts.

An “Indian-Origin” software engineer named Jeevan Gyawali.

I’ve become to realize that all leftists are corrupt and crooked (not just ill-informed). Imagine being paid at the rate these people are, plus given a food allowance, and then abusing it in such a way.

And every governmental agency is staffed with the same type of people. Trump is right (as usual). We need Elon Musk to head up a department to cut waste and fraud.

Just and excuse to cull the herd. These places are grossly overstaffed as Elon has proven. Anyone with one of these jobs better toe the line or prepare for the unemployment line. There will be a major re-alignment in these “industries” coming.

"Earlier this year, Zuckerberg said the layoffs weren't due to the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) but rather because Meta, like other tech companies, had invested heavily during the COVID era e-commerce surge and "overbuilt" as a result."

Lies lies lies yeah. Dude lies like second nature, due to his close ties with the Father of Lies.

He is thinning the herd and will continue to do so as he attempts to be the first to harness AI using Meta/FB as "the killer AIpp".

He'll fail as he always does, the wealthiest failure of a human being (maybe not in all history, there have been others) -- but he is fugly lying about the reason he's firing people -- because he has invested multi-billions building AI data centers since the plandemic:

Over 26B by my count. And yet not so much as one of these will employ over 400 people to babysit blades and most of the sub-1B will barely have 100 employees.

Meanwhile Suckerberg is sucking up cheap electric in nearly every one of these locations, while demanding these power companies provide him an equivalent amount of purchasable solar and wind credits on their platform. Thus nearly every one of these locations that is not used to solar farms f'ing up their landscape is now having to deal with carpetbaggers leaning on local zoning boards -- usually staffed by well-meaning but not legally-enabled people -- to ramrod solar farms and wind farms into A-1 zoned space.

You give a warning and second chance to workers who have been loyal and industrious. Meta is to blame for making these meal vouchers open to abuse, and not monitoring them for years. Or forever? Meta tempted good workers to steal.

Blame workers and blame Meta.

Meta’s mistake was not issuing the funds as a DoorDash or Instacart credit. By my calculation this stipend amounted to an over $18k/year bonus per person. I’m not justifying the abuse, but Meta certainly wasn’t very smart in the way they rolled this out. Someone further up the food chain made a very bad decision.

Meta (Facebook) and Microsoft both consistently rank in the Top 5 USA corporations for employee compensation.

Meta and MSFT stock, or stock options, have recorded huge gains over the last ten years...

800% for MSFT.

Almost 700% for Meta.

Before affirmative action, tattoos, and Cannabis stores we used to rule the world with 3 martini lunches and a steak.

Had a co-worker who had to travel & he had to by an umbrella because of the weather. Company wouldn’t reimburse so the next time he traveled, he put a note that said, “find the umbrella.” There were certain things you could claim without a receipt so he did. Accounting department wasn’t amused.
