Facebook owner Meta to reduce bonuses for staff

Meta Platforms Inc., which is owned by Facebook, is expected to reduce bonus payments for some employees and give staff performance reviews more frequently.

The company's employees who received a rating of '' met most expectations in their year-end reviews in 2023 will get a smaller bonus and restricted stock award in March 2024, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The bonus multiplier for that rating has been lowered from 85% to 65%. The platform will be assessing staff performance twice a year.

We are changing our performance process to take into account learnings and feedback over the last year while optimizing for the future. A Meta spokesman said these changes are not related to workforce restructuring.

Meta announced earlier this month that it would cut 10,000 jobs this year in a second round of layoffs.

The layoffs are part of a restructuring plan that will include removing 5,000 job openings and killing off lower-priority projects as a result of the industry's anticipated economic decline.
