Initial issue/concern I see is that it would seem people who have more internally-interactive/colleague-facing job roles would unfairly receive more unicorns/more $$. So workers who are pretty independent or mostly external-facing would be less likely to receive equitable bonus/appreciation for a job well done. Of course the client-facing positions can more easily have another metric for determining bonuses, though I think many times those metrics are pretty flawed.
Anyway. I like the idea of crowdsourcing a bonus, but think it needs to have a lot more nuance in it than it appears exists in Shopify's approach in order to actually be a fair and robust tool for bonus determination. Love the unicorn touch, though!
