someone still smart please chime in
Yes, you are correct (in a way). The pool of money that makes up the profit sharing is not increased or decreased because of retro. You will get more money on the profit sharing than you would have otherwise, though. There are 1000s of people here who didn’t get the full bonus because they’ve only been here a couple of years. The net effect of that is a lower % overall, but a bigger net check to you, if that makes sense.
