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
were after you?
Employee: Oh, my Visa Company, My Gas Company, My Electric
Company and the Mortgage Company!
Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?
