TikTok parent ByteDance offers top performers more stock options
TikTok 母公司字节跳动为顶尖表现员工提供更多股票期权
ByteDance has promised to grant top-performing employees additional stock options from next year, as hopes rise that Donald Trump’s re-election as US president could ease the political pressure faced by TikTok in one of its most important markets.
字节跳动承诺从明年起向表现最优秀的员工授予额外的股票期权，因为人们希望唐纳德·特朗普连任美国总统可能会缓解TikTok在其最重要市场之一所面临的政治压力。
The Beijing-based social media giant, which hires roughly 110,000 workers globally, decided to give more stock options to those who attain a performance rating of “M+” or above in the next review cycle, which begins in January, according to an internal letter sent on Tuesday that was seen by the South China Morning Post and confirmed by ByteDance staff.
据《南华早报》看到的一封内部信件以及字节跳动员工的确认，总部位于北京的这家社交媒体巨头在全球雇佣约11万名员工，并决定在明年1月开始的下一个绩效评估周期中，为那些获得“M+”或更高评级的员工提供更多股票期权。
An M+ rating, which stands for “above expectations”, is the fourth-highest score on a scale of eight. It is awarded only to a small portion of the staff and has become harder to attain recently, according to two employees, who declined to be named.
“M+”评级代表“超出预期”，是八级评分中的第四高分。据两名不愿透露姓名的员工表示，这一评级仅授予少数员工，且最近变得更难获得。
