I understood full well what I was getting into. I don't depend on this job to pay my bills. So I'm not complaining about the pay. I'm simply asking why the system is the way it is. Because it's an archaic set of rules that in no way corresponds with how the vast majority of modern compensation agreements are structured.
Then you need to get involved in your association. Put your ideas to change compensation to the test. Use your vast business knowledge to convince your negotiators to make a radical change.
The key is what are the costs difference in your plan versus the current system.
You don't need this job? The job doesn't need you either.
