### Comment:
That's a good link and quite possibly could be another reason for him doing so.  
  
 I actually remember hearing this described on a financial radio show a few weeks ago.

### REPLY:
Financial adviser here. It's accurate and called the fairness rule. The company is probably paying the average employee very little compared to executive pay and is now on a forced safe-harbor-match, or else the execs will be limited to a lower contribution. It vests immediately, which is nice, but is ultimately less money in the average employee's pocket.

### END.
