THE RAISE
Employee:
Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?

Boss:
Sure, come on in… What can I do for you?
Employee:
Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years.

Boss:
Yes.
Employee:
I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise.
I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first.

Boss:
A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time.
Employee:
I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales,
But you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade..

Boss:
Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain,
I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time.
How does that sound?
Employee:
Great! It's a deal Thank you, sir!

Boss:
Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies are after you?
Employee:
Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!:dance:

Isn't one of the rules of business not to go to your company looking for a counter offer? :leaving:

I just sent this to my boss.

I wonder if I'll get a raise or a box? :lol:

Forget that.

If I want a raise I look for another job. The company should give me what I deserve without having to ask for it. When I have to start asking for what I deserve, it is time to move on to another location.

But now days, I negotiate for vacation time and not money.
