Here's an idea to prevent such perverse incentives:

All employees are part of a pool that evenly distributes a portion of the company's profits.

The employee's incentives become tied to what the company wants most: income.

This might create other incentives like trying to hire fewer people so as to not dilute the pool, but I can't think of a better heuristic than to tie the company's success into each of the worker's success.
