I think it would incentivize bailing out as soon as times get slightly rough, and last thing you want is all your best (and most mobile) employees quitting when you need them most.

For example, if my company has a bad quarter and makes $0 net, does everybody get paid $0? Most people wouldn’t stand for that and would start job hunting pretty quick. The “work for equity at a startup” crowd does it because they can afford to take the risk of $0. Most people can’t or won’t take that risk.

That incentive won't change much under this new system. Joe Average at McDonalds has little to no power to significantly increase the company’s, or even their franchise’s profits. Sure, they could maybe move the needle slightly, but working (say) twice as hard to make 3% more is probably not a rational move.
