Dear Friends

Enjoy this humorous conversation

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've been a loyal and outstanding employee of this prestigious firm for over 10 years....

Boss: 

Yes?

Employee: 

I won't beat around the bush, sir, FOUR companies in different industries are after me, so I'd like to ask you for an immediate raise!

Boss: 

A raise? I'd 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 downturn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my loyalty, hard work and pro-activeness for over a decade here....

Boss: 

Taking into account those factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a 10% raise and an extra 5 days of vacation time. How does that sound?

Employee: 

Great! Thank you, sir!

Boss: 

Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies are after you?

Employee: 

Oh, the Electric company, the Gas company, the Water company

and the Mortgage company!

 

Kind Regards
