Zoom plans to reduce stock based compensation (SBC) by eliminating annual equity grants and reducing stock offered to new hires. The company has said this practice is unsustainable. SBC lowers the stock price via dilution which then forces companies to engage in stock buybacks. https://t.co/BOV2WYxvSX

Zoom is the latest technology company to reduce stock-based compensation (SBC) for its employees, joining peers such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday. The company plans to phase out annual equity performance plans and reduce the stock offered to new hires over the next two years, citing the practice as unsustainable. This move is part of a broader trend in the tech industry where companies are addressing equity dilution caused by SBC, which can lower stock prices and necessitate stock buybacks.
