3rd Aug 2011 Giggles - A Raise

Aug 03B
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! There are currently four companies certainly 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 10% raise and an extra five days of paid vacation! How does that sound?




Employee: Great! It's a deal! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?


Employee: Oh, the Electric, Gas, Water and Mortgage Companies.
