You are a manager at your workplace, and you have two employees, Alice and Bob, who work on the same team. Alice is a very dedicated and hardworking employee, and she consistently goes above and beyond to meet deadlines and deliver exceptional results. Bob, on the other hand, has been struggling with his performance and frequently misses deadlines.

One day, Bob comes to you and asks for a raise, citing his financial difficulties and the need to support his family. He feels that he deserves a raise because he's been with the company for a long time, even though his performance hasn't been up to par.

You know that Alice has been doing an excellent job and deserves a raise as well. You only have the budget to give one raise at this time. You decide to give the raise to Alice because of her exceptional performance, but you don't inform Bob about her performance being the primary reason for your decision.

Bob finds out about Alice's raise and feels very upset and unfairly treated. He confronts you and accuses you of being unfair and playing favorites. He argues that he's been loyal to the company for years, and Alice has only been with the company for a short time.

So, the question is: Are you the jerk in this situation for giving the raise to Alice and not fully explaining your decision to Bob?
