Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc is planning to lower bonus pays for some employees, and assess staff performance more frequently, as a part of a larger restructuring, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday , citing an internal memo.
The social media giant will be assessing the performance of employees, and those who get a rating of"met most expectations" in their 2023 year-end reviews will receive a smaller percentage of bonus and restricted stock award due in March 2024, the report said."We understand that while this is a significant change that might disappoint some people, it aligns with our continued focus on maintaining a high-performance culture," the newspaper said, quoting the memo.
On Mar 14, the company announced that it would cut 10,000 jobs this year in a second round of layoffs, as part of a restructuring that will see it scrap hiring plans for 5,000 openings, kill off lower-priority projects and"flatten" layers of middle management, as the industry braces for a deep economic downturn.
