Salary Negotiation

  •  

    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 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?

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

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

    Employee: Oh, the electric company, gas company, water company and the mortgage company!
