Executive officers at Meta can now get up to 200% of their base salary in the form of an annual performance-based payout, up from 75%.

Your company should consider the message this sends to the non-executive workforce, and not follow the tech giant's example.

The decision was approved on February 13, 2025 by Meta’s Compensation, Nominating, and Governance Committee (CNGC). However, the bonus will not be provided to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. And, Meta justified the increase by stating that its executive compensation was falling behind industry competitors.
