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.

I'm pretty sure I've lived on less than this in inflation adjusted dollars.

As someone who works at Meta:

Ya the benefits are nice.
