Hm, that's a good point and would be a better system than what I was interpreting it to be since there wouldn't be the gut feeling of a wage loss after 5 years.

Hm, that's a good point and would be a better system than what I was interpreting it to be since there wouldn't be the gut feeling of a wage loss after 5 years. BTW, I should clarify I'm not intrinsically opposed at all to anything in the article, I'm just pondering about the design of the system and its potential advantages and drawbacks compared to other possible incentive systems. Ultimately such human incentive plans are unpredictable in advance of being first done and thus the proof is in the pudding, it will be an interesting experiment to see carried through and see what the results are.
