How else do you explain the disparity if not for the difference in the number of employees, which is 25% higher in 2024 than 2015. 2019 was in the middle of the two.
That's exactly why it's paying less. We have more employees and in our case are making money so of course the same 5 Billion is leading to a lower percentage. I'm saying that if our margins recover we have a good chance at seeing those higher profit sharing percentages return. People are way too focused on the top end profit number. We are having to generate a lot more revenue to earn that same profit than we did before covid. The companies margin is what is holding us back right now, even if that's not what the PS payout is directly tied to.
