However, you may want to think twice before using them at supermarkets. Meta, the parent company of Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, has fired more than 20 employees for using meal cards for grocery shopping. According to a report by the Guardian, it was found that employees were using their meal cards for purchases unrelated to food, such as laundry detergent and household items.
While Meta provides meal services in one office, it supplies meal vouchers for employees in smaller offices to order food. An internal investigation at Meta revealed that employees were ordering food for their homes even when they were at the office, using their meal cards for non-food expenses.
Meta had also laid off thousands of employees in previous years.
