Flyboy....you are missing Max's point. The number of people getting two weeks salary as a profit share is almost nil. Yet the Company has inserted "two weeks salary" into the announcement. Why? So that many people, who will not pause to think about it, will be under the impression that the profit share is two weeks of salary. In other words.....It's a deceptive trick.
So Max's point is that if you're going to employ such sophistry...why not go for an even greater impact and announce profit share as three months of salary, or $5000, if that happens to be less....blah blah blah.
It's like announcing that billions of dollars lost to fuel hedging is a good thing because it allows us to make stable fuel cost predictions.
Or one of my personal favorites: your salary is being reduced by 25%, and that "includes" your 13th month "bonus".
