I don't know what preformance is, but I like to look at being paid based on performance as the same as being paid for my time.

If you look at it this way. Being paid based on performance is me spending my time to do the things that will increase the amount of money I make therefore increase the amount of money a company makes. So I am being paid for my time, but based on a performance structure.

I will never not be paid on a performance structure again.

When I was working years ago at UPS I was in a trailer on a night not long after the Northridge Earthquake. Well one of the main hubs for UPS colapsed in LA. So they had to re route all the packages to our hub. That meant tons more work for us.

So I am in this trailer and the guy working with me is dogging big time. Total Slacker! So I ask him to speed up so we can keep up with the work flow. Well he was an old timer and looked at me and said, "Why? No matter how fast I work they are still going to pay me the same amount."

I went out and got my first sales job shortly thereafter. There was no way I was going to be in a situation where I worked harder and yet was paid the same as someone sitting on their ass doing nothing.
