Meta Boosts Bonuses for Bosses while Staffers Bag Bupkis

Jonathan Vanian at CNBC has this vile development from Meta:

The company said in a corporate filing Thursday that it had approved "an increase in the target bonus percentage" for its annual bonus plan for executives. Meta's named executive officers could earn a bonus of 200% of their base salary under the new plan, up from the 75% they earned previously, according to the filing.

And:

The disclosure of the new executive bonus plan comes a week after Meta began laying off 5% of its overall workforce. The company had previously said this would impact its lowest performers.

Meta also slashed its annual distribution of stock options by about 10% for thousands of employees, according to a report published Thursday by the Financial Times.

The people at the top get richer, the people who do the work get screwed—or worse.

As I said, vile.
