Let's, however, say that our negotiators arrived at a total compensation package. After the agreement, management said, "Hey, all that profit sharing doesn't look all that great to Wall Street. How about we convert a bit of it to increased pay rates on a dollar-to-dollar basis, and keep the upside intact?"

I'd buy off on that in a New York minute. I can't think of any reason not to.

That's why IF profit sharing is touched, I'm going to look closely at it before setting my hair on fire and jumping off a bridge!
