Let me put it to you this way. What if our pay was zero, and we received our entire compensation via a huge annual PS payout? Then we decided to trade all of the PS away for normal twice monthly paychecks. Have you "lost" anything? Of course not. But then again, neither have you gotten a "raise." It was just a trade.
