I see too often companies giving individual bonuses on productivity, that creates a "if you fail I win" mentality. Punishing people for mistakes is also quite common. You end with colleagues that can't trust anybody, everything is a competition against the guy sitting at your side.
Punishment and reward systems make "office politics" toxic and a game for opportunists instead of a forum to get to the best decisions.
