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 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?  read on........

Employee:
Great! It's 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 laugh!)
