I'll be very pleased to receive anything over and above my normal pay that my employer decides to give me - (that's if my employer decides to give anything extra to me).
However, judging by the last few years' profit share, which did not reflect a percentage of the profit the company actually made in the previous year to each employee (as Singapore Airlines does), I think the misnamed EK 'profit share' might be more accurately named a '13th month' pay.
... and I'll be very glad ot get it.
I just think they could save themselves a lot of binding in the marsh by some employees if they called it what it is rather than try to 'spin' it to staff as something it obviously is not - a profit share.
