I think it can work only in small companies. I used to work in a place that had 15 people total, and our compensation was tied directly to company revenue. Not even individual performance, company performance. And each one of us had a direct impact on it.
It was one of the healthiest job environments ever. Burnout was a risk, but even that was manageable with conscious planning.
I was so much happier working my ass off with only two dozen people at the company total than I am now with double that.
When you're a small company, everybody matters and everybody needs to be good at what they do, and it's easy to communicate and keep everybody up to date. We've reached that size where not everybody is great, and their performance (or lack thereof) affects your own work. and then it cascades from there.
