> How does that matter ?
It matters because words have meanings and using words correctly facilitates effective discussions.

i get where you're coming from, but also sympathize with the position of "if the compensation changes in value, the value of the compensation has changed"
maybe time to question this whole stock option thing for c-suite and just grant all employees a similar share of company performance
"Today’s announcement that eligible UAW-Stellantis members will receive a record average profit-sharing amount of $14,760..."
"Ford...members are expected to receive an average of $9,176 in profit sharing."
"UAW members who work for General Motors received the news that they may receive up to $12,750 in profit sharing"
also phrasings like "average" and "up to" tend to obstruct an important part of the picture (i.e. the common worker)
That is both wrong and misleading. Wrong for obvious reasons, but misleading because the nature of salary is that statement suggests that someone (the board or compensation committee) made an explicit decision to change their salary from $X to $Y.
