I plan on the PS number being zero and that way I am pleasantly surprised when something other than $0 shows up on Valentine's Day. Pay rates are pay rates and profit sharing is profit sharing. The two are independent methods of compensation but only one is "certain." Emphasize and strengthen the "certain." 😊
Using your own words, you should be the very biggest cheerleader of trading PS for pay rates. After all, if you plan on PS being "zero" and anything on Feb 14 is merely a "pleasant surprise" then wouldn't you much rather have higher pay rates throughout the year--money now being worth more than money later--and get your "planned" PS payout of zero in February? I know that I would. More importantly, the math says that.
