As an hourly wage worker, I'm no manager, I want my money every month. I don't really care if the Company makes a small profit or a large profit. It's really none of my business. Did I say I'm not a manager? I show up. I do my job. I go home.
Here is my point: Replacing uncertain profit sharing with a regular wage was not a problem for me. I don't think profit incentives are useful for a non-management, hourly wage worker.
I don't disagree with your perspective as I prefer my income to cone from my monthly paycheck and not from an annual profit sharing check.
My displeasure is that we were asked to give some money in order to get some money which ultimately is just moving money around.
Furthermore, if we look at best case scenario and the company brings in exactly 2.5 billion PTIX then the amount of realized cost savings is $125,000,000. That was a cost benefit to the company at the expense of ALL employee groups. Me-too clauses work both ways.
