    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Meta is trying to tempt employees to return to the office by bringing back perks such as happy hours and branded t-shirts.

    The company has revived a number of pre-pandemic employee perks, according to Bloomberg, a change that unnamed sources said has boosted morale amongst staff after a year of layoffs and acrimony over Meta’s return-to-the-office policies.

    The perks returning include branded t-shirts, happy hours, laundry services, and free haircuts.

    The tech giant’s drive to cut costs and boost profitability has seen it lay off about 25% of its staff since November 2022, although Meta has recently begun to rehire some of those who lost their jobs.

    The revived perks, which also include a new coffee bar and earlier dinners, are part of Meta’s renewed effort to lure staff back into the office.

    Last month, Meta announced that employees would be required to work in the office at least three days a week, and warned that those who repeatedly refused to comply risked losing their jobs.
