ByteDance released an internal email to its global employees announcing continued investment in talent, including enhanced compensation competitiveness and increased stock option incentives. Specific measures include four key initiatives: increasing bonuses (including performance-based stock options), with the 2025 performance evaluation cycle increasing by 35% compared to the previous cycle; significantly increasing salary adjustments by 1.5 times compared to the previous cycle; and raising the lower limit (starting salary) and upper limit (ceiling) of the total compensation package for all job levels. ByteDance stated that these measures are to ensure that employee compensation competitiveness and incentive returns are "leading the pack" in all global markets. (Yicai)
