I'm definitely not the person who would normally leap to the defense of the bigtech employer firing somebody, but I have absolutely no sympathy for people who fiddle expenses.

The company doesn't provide a laundry detergent/wineglass/acne pad benefit. They provide a food benefit. If they give you uber eats or doordash vouchers and you choose to spend it on something that is not food, you are committing expenses fraud.

You may think to yourself "all dollars are green, what's the harm?" but it's not even close to ambiguous for me. They provide that voucher for food. If you spend it on something else, that's exactly the same as if you just stole the money.
