Have to ask, what is the "guaranteed match"? We have a 4% match at fully participating but beyond that there is more. Over the five years I have been there it has been closer to 10%. You must be fully participating to get into the profit sharing.
I only ask because it would be a shame to be angry with your employers and coworkers if it is a simple misunderstanding.
Now my husband's and my ex's companies are straight up profit sharing for those that participate.
Guess I am saying unless you sat down with HR this is pretty much on you.
Can you tell I work HR? Then again when I explain people usually go ohhhhh, they don't want to hurt another department. :)
