> however shouldn't that employer contribution also be included in your pay?

No. That's the company's money. They keep it. It goes to their bottom line and eventually to shareholder dividends. That's why the stock market is so excited.

>the attenuation should be less than 2% for a properly designed system

A properly designed waveguide isn't lined with trees, buildings, mountains, and bodies of saltwater.

>at that scale the surface of the earth is pretty smooth

Alright. I'll give you that. Saltwater and other environmental absorption would still be a problem. I remember reading somewhere (can't find it now) that the quality factor is only around 10-20 at 7.8Hz and progressively worse at higher harmonics. For Tesla's idea to work it would have to be orders or magnitude better.
