For the first time in more than a decade, Meta Platforms (META) is handing out stock options to its top executives — and the targets attached to those options tell you everything about how much pressure the company is under to deliver on artificial intelligence (AI). The last time Meta did this was back in 2012. When a company of this size dusts off a compensation tool it hasn't used in 13 years, it's worth paying attention.
According to a report, the executives named in the incentive plan include CFO Susan Li, Chief Product Officer Christopher Cox, Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, and Chief Operating Officer Javier Olivan, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not included in the list.
