At a fortune 100 company I consulted at, developers were rewarded for writing efficient code that was frequently reused. This was literally micro-transaction recognition and rewards a decade prior to anything resembling today's micro-transaction cloud billing.

I wrote the billing/logging system and I am certain the main "method call logger" is by far the most frequently executed code I have ever written. It was called by any method that the author wanted to be compensated for. Alas, I was not allowed to include the call to this method in the compensation pool :-(
