The translation of the heading to English is: "Layoffs at Meta: Irregularities in the meal voucher system lead to staff reductions.

At Meta, the parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, there were reportedly layoffs of employees who had misuse the technology company's meal voucher system. According to reports, these vouchers, which are intended for ordering meals from Grubhub, were used to purchase items such as toothpaste and detergent. Additionally, employees allegedly shared the vouchers with others or exceeded the budget. It is unclear whether the affected employees were sufficiently warned before their dismissal, as varying reports exist regarding the extent of the forewarning. These incidents occur amid further job cuts within the company. Areas such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs, the virtual reality segment responsible for developing Oculus headsets, are also reportedly affected. Jane Manchun Wong, a former security engineer at Meta and known from the Forbes 30 under 30 list of 2022, confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that she is also affected by the wave of layoffs. These layoffs were first reported by Verge. A company spokesperson explained to the tech portal that some teams are being restructured to better align resources with long-term strategic goals.
