It's not that hard to think about how to game that and the culture and incentives that will develop outside of very limited utopian circumstances. The logical outcome is that the biggest parasites will look to attach themselves to the biggest flows of money with low levels of elasticity relative to their input. And they will do whatever they can through side-channel methods and attacks, whether it be destructive to other employees or the company itself, to stop others getting into the position, including navigating/manipulating the hierarchy to maximize flows through them. Half of finance/executive remuneration is literally built around that strategy (manage big flows of money unrelated to your personal input), and I'd guess a huge number of toxic companies and employees are directly attributable to people who believe they've successfully implemented that incentive scheme.
