Meta fires staff for buying toothpaste, not lunch


 Meta Cracks Down on Meal Voucher Abuse: Employees Fired for Non-Food Purchases

In a surprising move, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has fired a number of employees for abusing the company's meal voucher system. According to reports, employees were terminated for using the vouchers to purchase non-food items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and even wine glasses.

The company's meal voucher policy provides employees with a daily allowance for meals, intended to be used for ordering food through delivery services. However, some employees apparently took advantage of the system, using the vouchers for personal purchases that violated company policy.

While the exact number of employees fired is unclear, reports suggest that more than 30 individuals lost their jobs due to this misconduct. It's also worth noting that Meta has been making broader job cuts across its various businesses, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs.

This incident raises questions about the company's enforcement of policies and the consequences of violating company rules. While it's important for companies to maintain order and integrity, some may argue that the punishment for meal voucher abuse seems excessive.

What do you think about Meta's decision to fire employees for meal voucher misuse? Is the punishment too harsh, or is it necessary to maintain company standards?

How scientists are creating real life invisibility: Can We Ever Truly Disappear?

Image
From spy novels to fantasy epics, invisibility has captivated the human imagination for centuries. The idea of becoming unseen, of moving through the world undetected, holds a powerful allure. But is this fantastical concept destined to remain firmly in the realm of fiction? While true invisibility, like vanishing entirely from sight, might still be a distant dream, scientists are making remarkable strides towards technologies that blur the lines between reality and illusion. The Science of Seeing (and Not Seeing) To understand how invisibility might be achieved, we must first understand how we see. Our eyes perceive objects by detecting the light waves that reflect off them. To make something truly invisible, we need to manipulate these light waves, essentially tricking our eyes into "seeing through" the object. Current Approaches:  * Metamaterials: These artificially engineered materials can manipulate light in unprecedented ways. By altering their structure at the microsco...
