Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast. There, the two discussed changes in corporate culture in a wide range of extensive interviews.
Facebook's parent company Meta recently announced that it has approved a bonus of up to 200% to its company executives.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated February 13, Meta has concluded that its Compensation, Nomination and Governance Committee (CNGC) will be responsible for the target bonus rates of nominated executives other than CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He said he has approved the increase.
The change will increase from 75% of the base salary of the appointed executive officer to 200% of the salary and will begin implementation during the company's 2025 performance period.
“In approving this increase, the CNGC states that the target total cash compensation for appointed executives (non-CEOs) is 15th percentile of target total cash compensation for executives who hold similar positions in the peer group of companies. We thought it would be: benchmarked by the company for executive compensation purposes,” Mehta said.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “Everything I say is leaked and an internal meeting: “It sucks.”

With this change, total cash compensation for Meta's non-CEO executives will “fall in the approximately 50th percentile of Peer Group's target cash compensation.”

The higher bonus comes after mid-January signaled that Meta would cut 5% of the workforce based on performance. “We decided to raise the performance management bar and break the low performance faster,” Zuckerberg said in a memo.
“We usually manage people who don't meet expectations during the year, but now we're going to make a broader performance-based reduction over the year,” he said.

Meta said it plans to reach 10% of “unresurrected” attrition before the current performance cycle ends. According to the memo, the figures include approximately 5% of irresistible attrition since 2024.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus, has risen about 14.8% since the start of the year, in addition to Facebook.
Last month, Zuckerberg said the company plans to invest up to $65 billion in its AI initiative.
