I'M LOOKING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION?

HYPOTHETICALLY, WOULD THE WINNER OF THIS AWARD BE LIKELY TO GET A LARGER-THAN-NORMAL PAY RAISE?

I WOULD THINK SO, YES.

AND IS IT TRUE THAT OUR BUDGET FOR RAISES IS LIMITED?

YES, OF COURSE.

WOULD IT NOT BE AGAINST MY BEST INTERESTS TO NOMINATE AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS COMPETING WITH ME FOR SCARCE RESOURCES?

LET'S JUST FORGET I BROUGHT IT UP.

I NOMINATE MYSELF.
