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

Sorry, trying to scam your employer isn't smart. Food vouchers, not couch vouchers.

Exactly. Force them to do layoffs, don't give them an easy out to fire you for misconduct.

That said, Meta could absolutely have just ended the program for people who abused the policy. But it seems their intent is to reduce headcount as cheaply as possible, so that's why they went this direction.
