Appraisal Vs Resignation

A newly-joined trainee engineer asks his boss " What is the meaning of appraisal ? "
Boss : " Do you know the meaning of resignation ? "

Trainee : " Yes, I do. "
Boss : " So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation. "

Appraisal

• In an appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.


• During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.


• During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.


• There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.

Resignation

• In a resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.


• In a resignation meeting you can easily demand ( or get more without asking ) more than 50-60% pay-hike !


• During resignation, they'll say you are the core member of the team; that you are the vision of the company, and so " How can you go ? "; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.


• There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay-hike after you put in your resignation.

Trainee : " Yes, boss, good enough. Now I know what to do. When you are about to do my appraisal, I will resign. "
