If the profit sharing income is significant that may pit ordinary workers against owners who want to expand the business. E.g. if you are on route for $100k profit this year it might be better to invest that profit in the company by hiring another salesperson that sells even more next year. If you own the company you generally decide your own compensation and you might be more interested in working towards selling the company off anyway. Perhaps if the IT company was one with hourly billing you could have a more law-firm like "partner" system where some senior people have more say and a share of the profits.
