Compensation paper

 I am dealing with a lot right now. I am not "busy" a whole lot but it helps to be. I got a new idea for my compensation paper so I got up and went to the computer. I prefer this new and different approach because it will lead to very interesting and useful results/answers. I think I will have a better paper - it will be somewhat similar to a paper I read on strategies employees employ to get ahead. I bring useful ideas/information to the research such as knowledge that sometimes employees are hired as a group with the exact same title and compensation. I am proposing research to determine what worked/clicked for those employees that were compensated higher or promoted faster. It may be that the supervisor rewarded some because of the work they completed (maybe were on high profile projects or completed special work). Or maybe they asked for higher pay. I remember that I asked for a transfer rather than for more compensation. I did not want to ask for a lot (and pretty much have an agreement with the manager) and then leave the department. I wanted to leave my situation. There are all sorts of complications.
