  • The incident, dubbed “Grubgate,” sparked debate among employees on workplace forum Blind.
  • Employees question the severity of terminations

Meta recently terminated several employees for misusing the company’s food perk program, sparking a heated debate within the organization. The employees, who used $25 Grubhub credits to order non-food items like laundry detergent and wine glasses, were let go due to policy violations.
The incident, dubbed “Grubgate,” has Meta employees discussing the company’s strict policy enforcement on Blind, a workplace forum. Some employees sympathize with those fired, while others argue that terminations were justified. The debate highlights tension between employees and company policy enforcement, particularly under CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency” strategy.
Employees expressed concerns that the harsh enforcement could instill fear and uncertainty, noting that inadvertently violating other policies could lead to similar consequences. Others argued that the firings were fair, citing clear policy guidelines. The incident may be connected to broader organizational changes, including recent layoffs and reorganization within key divisions.
The “Grubgate” controversy has sparked suggestions for alternative consequences, such as refund requests or warnings. As Meta navigates its “year of efficiency,” the company’s approach to policy enforcement will likely influence workplace culture and employee relations.
