Remember the ESOP?

Give me a break, that ended over seven years ago. We are talking about today, not the past.

I am willing to to accept your position that you don't want any of your pay "at risk". But it does not seem that you are willing to accept your own argument. "Profit sharing" is by definition "At Risk" pay. You want 100% of your regular salary AND you want the "At risk" profit sharing without having any negative complications. AND you then want to complain about the profit sharing agreements of those who elected to participate fully in a profit sharing plan by accepting lower base wages.

As my mother always says "You can't have your cake and eat it too". That used to drive me crazy when I was a child because I didn't understand what she meant. Since I have grown up and accepted responsibility for my own lot in life her words ring true.
