Some Meta executives are currently trying to get some sweet bonus deals from Mark Zuckerberg and they have been largely successful in this attempt as some of them have received 200 per cent bonuses for themselves.

Meta Platforms has approved a new bonus plan where its executives could earn a bonus of 200% of their base salary, the social media and tech giant said in a filing.

Meta approved a new executive bonus plan after announcing plans to lay off 5% of the company. Last week, Meta began plans to lay off 5 percent of its workforce, representing over 3,600 employees. This week, the company internally approved a plan to increase bonuses for executives sans Mark Zuckerberg.

The bonus increase comes just one week after Meta laid off around 5% of its workforce, around 3,600 employees. The cuts were aimed at strengthening Meta's operations after Zuckerberg declared 2025 "an intense year" and announced plans to heavily invest in the company's AI efforts.

Meta executives are set to receive significantly larger bonuses this year, even as the company implements layoffs affecting 5% of its workforce. According to a corporate filing on Thursday, Meta’s board approved an increase in the target bonus percentage for its executive compensation plan.
