i still think there are issues even if the arrangement is known up front.
for example....it reminds me of a real estate agent (who works on a
percentage, as pointed out by the authors of freakonomics)
if you are working on a percentage - say it is 10%, but any number works
the same:
a donor says s/he will give $20,000 - you will get $2,000. done.
but, if you are working on salary, maybe you will work harder with the
donor, and in the end, the donor will give $25,000. (but as a percentage
earner, you would get $2500.)
the question arises then, how much work would you put in to maybe get
another $500, knowing that right now you already have $2000 in your pocket.
most would rather work on the next $20,000 donor and put the time in so
that they can earn another $2000. (and not waste time for a 'mere' $500).
