This stuff is starting to feel closer to Snow Crash than I'm comfortable with, when I saw that QR code I wondered if my brain was being altered :-D Amazing work.

In the TV show Barry, this is what NoHo Hank was doing. I thought it was sort of a joke, but guess not.
While we're at it, I think it should be illegal for prosecutors -- or defense attorneys -- to lie or use hypotheticals they know are not true just to spread doubt. Law should be argued on facts, conviction and conjecture.
Example: if I was caught drunk driving and blew a 0.15, my lawyer shouldn't be able to say "How do you know my client didn't just use mouthwash? Mouthwash has a level of alcohol in it." If they know that's not what happened, it shouldn't be legal to plant in the mind of a jury or judge. Rather they could say factually, "How accurate are these breath tests?" or "Are you sure you administered the test correctly?" to the officer being witnessed.
Same is happening aggressively in Japan. It's quite sad.

Has any company ever tried having a bonus pool divided equally between all employees?
Ie 5% of gross revenue / employees. So every time you add someone you reduce the bonus unless that person adds more to gross revenue?
Worked at a large global financial company 10 years ago in tech. It was well known that the bonus pool was finite per division, but it was also allocated on ratios based on performance reviews and retention. Everyone knew the more people, the smaller the pool -- but then again, tech was a "cost center" so it wasn't like adding technology people (with the exception of quants) earn the bank more money.
I suspect if you incentivized managers to keep their teams small, through a bonus pool, it would definitely result in smaller teams, but also with the danger of overworked ones. That seems self-fulfilling though, if you're overworked but you know there's a reward with it.
That all being said, most places don't have bonus pools so it's a mute point.
