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 wont 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 1st. 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 dont want to start a brain drain, Im willing to offer you a ten per cent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound? Employee: Great! Its 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! (This is one worth forwarding, have a great day!)
