I believe that this would only be really beneficial for a McJob-like work environment where the employees believe their work has very little importance or impact.
I would imagine that working at a start-up or at Google or at some other fast-paced innovative company would negate the need such a system and would possibly devalue (within the employee's mind) the importance of their work.
- vyrotek 17y agoProbably true, but that doesn't mean there isn't a market for such a idea. What do you think the ratio of McJobs to Startups/Google jobs is?
- wlievens 17y agoExactly. The overwhelming majority of all jobs in any sector probably suck.

- patio11 17y agoI thought that Google had a system spiritually very close to this where incentives align in a semi-automated manner to encourage people to do what the business needs doing? (For example, they're apparently able to devote huge portions of their development resources to AdWords -- Google's only product that makes an appreciable amount of money -- despite e.g. report generation for AdWords being much less intrinsically sexy than working on their latest, greatest delivery vehicle for the advertising warhead.)

Search for the word "incentives".
