Applying for a 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 10 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 the current economic down turn 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 recent 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 mortgage Company.
