I'll give you nice-guy points for turning it down - that's a very principled position to take when that much money is sitting in front of you and all you have to do is say "yes"

I think your intuition on #2 is right - pro-rata across the board or even if the amounts are small enough, offering to do it as a "series B bonus" line item in payroll is not out of the question. 10% seems on the high side but sub 5% it's probably do-able.

I agree with a lot of what you've written - I understand if you want to stay anonymous but would love to talk to you about this more if you are open to it!
