As I've pointed out before it isn't an ideal tool, although we've tweaked it and upgraded our contract so it's better. I typed in "Decherd" and the article to which you refer came to the top.

You can pay me lots when things go up, but I get to change the rules when things go down so I still get almost as much. And, employees don't get to follow my example. Dechard has the same totally tin ear as Rick Waggoner at GM.
