Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.

    If that is the case the Meta set themselves up for failure for some tax breaks and is taking it out on their employees.

      No, they’re using this as an excuse to cull the workforce.

      In most orgs, this would merely result in losing access to the benefit.

        It can be both, since the vouchers have existed for years and are only now getting scrutiny.

          And with a normal org, they’d simply revoke the benefit and maybe take a penalty from the employee’s future paychecks. Firing someone over such a small benefit is ridiculous and only makes sense if they’re actively looking for ways to cut headcount w/o paying severance or unemployment.
