Meta approved a bonus plan enabling top executives to potentially receive up to 200% of their base salary, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing. This decision follows Meta's announcement of a 5% reduction in its workforce, affecting approximately 4,000 employees. Those impacted by the layoffs expressed surprise, noting their recent favorable performance reviews. Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, clarified that the layoffs are aimed at improving operational efficiency by targeting "low-performers" amidst what he referred to as "an intense year."
