Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms announced Tuesday it has provided stock-based compensation packages to several top executives as part of an effort to prevent key leadership from leaving the social media giant.
The compensation includes restricted stock units and stock options for high-ranking officials such as Chief Financial Officer Susan Li and Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth. These packages are structured around performance metrics and ambitious stock price goals.
Companies commonly use stock-based compensation to incentivize employees, prevent the departure of valuable personnel, and ensure leadership priorities match long-term corporate objectives.
A company representative described the compensation packages as a “big bet” and stated they “will not be realized unless Meta achieves massive future success, benefiting all of our shareholders.”
