That included one unnamed worker on a $400,000 salary, who said they had used their meal credits to buy household goods and groceries such as toothpaste and tea.
On the anonymous messaging platform Blind, they wrote: "On days where I would not be eating at the office, like if my husband was cooking or if I was grabbing dinner with friends, I figured I ought not to waste the dinner credit."
DUMB WHOREEEEEEEEEEEEE

The thing with these cards and allowances ALWAYS has been "keep your receipts". Chinese buffet won't be throwing flags (while they may sell other shit and ring it up as food). Supermarket or gas station however? Receipt better show food and nothing else. If anything this round of canning people rids the company of people who don't take things seriously. "This card is for food and we are generous. You bought non-food because of generous amount of free money, frick off." Perfect response.

You can actually ask for your receipt at restaurants to just have the total and not be itemized. I was sent to San Francisco in 2015 to work out some kinks
at a subsidiary company the place I was working for had just acquired. After a strenuous 3.5 hours of labor I went downtown to some sushi spot that had great reviews. I did buy and eat a few rolls and a bowl of miso but i got totally shitfaced drinking sake for the reat of the afternoon. I asked the waiter to just put the total price on the receipt. It didnt even raise any flags when I submitted an $80 receipt for lunch for one person. If it had my excuse was going to be this is the bay area and they want top dollar for the freshest sushi.

$80 for well reviewed sushi in bay area? Perfectly reasonable for a facebook person. WTF. Even without drinks. The person in question must have done some really creative accounting like "I didn't spend 10 days of company food, I buy appliance for $800".

You're right. The other issue is companies as large as Facebook use automated systems to look at receipts now. A human with that job may not have even read through the items bought, or just let it slide, but automated scanning system will flag everything that is noncompliant.
The expense system we use at my work runs on OpenAI which is wild, but fortunately they barely ask for receipts for anything

My buddy put 20k on company credit card while drunk at Scores NY. Quit on Monday, took a job in LA and once they found out (tuesday) it took him 4 months to pay it off. Also divorced his wife after she caught him fricking some Trump slut that was on The Apprentice judges panel for a year or 2.
I guess she was a pretty good golfer, tho.

What most of the

Companies that issue these kinds of things are usually very explicit on what you can and cannot use them for and you're required to acknowledge that you understand. If they don't they'll reprimand you the first time and fire you the second so these r-slurs can't play dumb like they had no idea.

I hope so. You can't stay a trillion dollar company by paying people that don't work for you. I can't wait until Meta is the first quadrillion dollar company that beams ads to the brain antennas that people pay for and kills former employees and their families.

I used to have a company card at a previous job. They made it clear that the purpose of the card was only things I'd otherwise be allowed to reimburse/expense, and the card was simply there to make the filing process much easier.

When I interviewed with Amazon onsite, they said they wouldn't pay for alcohol and gave me a stipend for food. I submitted a $200 receipt for dinner with alcohol thinking they would pay some of it but not the alcohol and they paid for the whole thing.
When I worked for ATT I had a corporate card and it was forbidden to put personal things on it, but I know some people did (I was young and naive and too afraid to break the rules back then lol).
My guess is that someone was letting it go and ignoring it, they left their job and someone wanting to show their totes loyalty to bootlick the megacorp narc'd them out. Frick corporations.
I have to say though that some people are pretty brazen on Blind about where they work for these FAANG companies and I'm surprised they are so open about it. I imagine if you worked there it would be easy to figure out who they are, and they often say chuddy shit or trauma dump about their sexless marriage or lonely life. How embarrassing.
