This doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me. Saying it's not going to stop people being stupid by themselves is ignoring the fact that what is being done now hasn't worked at all in that regard. If something doesn't work, doing more of the same typically doesn't work either.

My company has a defined pension. We've had people take another job for 2% more money, even after it was pointed out to them that the pension was worth about 25% on top of their salary. People are idiots.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

This is a regional thing.

Looks kind of OK in CA, bad in red states.

I've always preached to my kids to look at the entire employment package - environment, salary, benefits, advancement opportunities, - before taking a job.

Good advice.

On the employers side, it's little more than a QuickBooks update. If your CPA chokes on it, get a better one.
