My point is, if I agree to work for a dollar, knowing that at the end of the year I'm going to get a bonus of a million...Am I not working for a $1,000,001 with a lump sum payout at the end of the year?  
 
Why not just pay them a million a year with no bonus? Or give them a bonus in deferred compensation. 
 
It just sounds like they're playing games with semantics. 
 
As for death threats...not much can be said about that other than it's wrong.
