I don't think PBP should be capped for any work groups. I think the formula should just include incremental increases in the profit portion that continues on, rather than having a maximum payout profit goal. According to the chart, we made over 3 times the threshold target and exceeded the maximum target by a third. How about a payout that is commensurate with our increased profitability?
And, no, I don't remember when the PBP was automatically reduced by 50%. When did that happen?
