Listed below are your notes on the performance of four managers who work for you. Working alone, recommend salary increases for these four managers who have just completed their first year with the company and are now to be considered for their first annual raise. Keep in mind that you may be setting precedents and that you need to keep salary costs down while still rewarding them in a way that you maintain or increase the levels of motivation observed.

Rationale: _______% Fred Foster. Fred has turned out to be a very pleasant surprise to you. He has done an excellent job, and it is generally accepted among the others that he is one of the best people at the company. This surprised you because he is constantly frivolous and does not seem to care very much about money and promotion. Rationale: _______% Greta Goslow. Your opinion is that Greta is just not cutting the mustard. Surprisingly enough, however, when you check to see how others feel about her, you discover that her work is very
