Profit Share

One of the many things I perpetually gripe about at work is the profit share plan. Saw someone come in late today and he twalked about how he's been late so many tmies, he's cut out of the profit share now. This period stretches from about June to December. We're about half way through and he no longer has the additional incentive to help increase profits. He also made it a lot further than a lot of people. Many of them were out a month earlier. The amounts also aren't that significant in my eyes. The lowest paid workers get roughly an extra days pay for half a year's worth of hard work. The highest paid supervisors get about a week's pay. That's actually respectable, however that also means everyone else is getting much much less.
For now, the people who can change things are the people who are getting the most. I'm skeptical that they'd feel overly inclined to make changes to this arrangement.
