No, go with it
Courts love precedent, right? Which means if you can file something that has never been tested, they'll accept nearly any precedent you offer, no matter how tenuous, rather than strike out on their own.
So if this goes through, and the court even recognizes the claim, they'll establish the precedent that an employee's compensation should be a direct derivitive of the profit brought to their employer. If it's okay to take $210,000 from this guy because that's how much profit the company didn't make, it should be okay for me to demand the $210,000 the company did make off of me.
I really don't think most corporations want to establish a direct link between the profit (or loss) generated by an employee and their compensation. That's only for salespeople and executives.

Then it probably IS our Drew this is about.
No wonder he didn't have to read the article, eh?
You see? It all makes sense now!

Rock and roll.
I'm suing Microsoft for the $42B they didn't pay me when they didn't hire me to be Bill Gates.

Rock and Roll, Pt. II
I'm suing Microsoft for the $1.47 million for the lost time I spent over the last 15 years working around the problems inherent endemic to their POS software. As a consultant, that was time I could have spent solving my client's problems, as opposed to solving Microsoft's.

I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

What connection between sales & executive compensation?
You mean, like Carly Fiorino? I'd like to see a CEO who got his compensation wacked for poor results, instead of being dumped out of the company with a golden parachute.
