The sales person is the one making sure everyone else gets a paycheck. Why should they be treated equally? They are the stars of the show, not the developers, or management. If people get fed up, then let them. Code does not sell itself. Actually, everyone in the company is involved in ensuring a paycheck happens. Bundled into every sale is: the branding (trust, demand, anticipation/expectations, etc) that the marketers created, the product that the builders (developers, designers, QA, etc) created, the steadiness of cashflow that accountants/finance people ensure, etc. All are important moving parts which deserve consideration when sharing the company's incremental success.
