Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.
minus-squaresubtext@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49·3 months ago Staff are given daily allowances of $20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, and $25 for dinner, with meal credits issued in $25 increments. Hot damn this is absolutely wild. Even if you only look at lunch, that’s ~$6k/person. If you add in breakfast and dinner that’s ~$17k/person.
