Better to just do a low amount of profit sharing - if we all win you win, if we all lose you get nothing; its way less stupid than saying "well you are being dinged for our failure on X thing" when they had no ability to impact it and often times that's not even tied to profitability.

Yeah I worked at a place that did that. Company hits X,Y,Z numbers and everyone got what was equivalent to a paycheck as a bonus. A number that seemed to scale well and people cared about / appreciated.

The times we hit two or three pay checks were great.
