Explanation / Answer

Shirley must be given the highest share of the pool because she can be considered as the face of the organization that she represents. Being a receptionist, she can be replaced by a lot of better looking people as well, but the service that she does to the organization can never be replaced by other employees. Considering the present salary, Oscar must be given the second highest share of the pool because of the number of years that he has put in service to the organization, not just due to the performance, but also the raise can be because of his outstanding and never-ending service to the organization. Carson must be given the third highest share of the pool because of the outstanding skills that he possesses such as analytical and managerial skills. Though there are negativities in his way of working he still outperforms his colleagues by 15%. Hence, he should be given the third highest share in the pool Arthur should be given the fourth highest share of the pool because of his services to the all sectors of the organization, Arthur seems to be one of the workers who socialize a lot and also have a good management skill with them. Setting high goals would make him an over-ambitious person as well Drake should be given the fifth highest share of the pool because of the already high salary that he is being offered with a non-degree. It seems that he is one of the best employees in the organization and it is one of the reasons that he is earning as much as an employee with a post-graduation Considering the past experience with Camille, she should be given the last highest share of the pool, because she seems to be a manipulative employee and one of those employees who would go to any extent to get their things done. She might have sued the company to get a promotion but going by the productivity rates, she has all the rights to be under paid and even fired
