Raising the Stakes
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 worked here for over ten years. I won’t beat around the bush, sir. I would like a raise. I currently have four other companies after me, but I decided to talk to you first.
Boss: 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 downturn has had a negative impact on sales. But you must also take into consideration my hard work, market savvy and loyalty to this company for over a decade.
Boss: You have a point, and I sure don’t want to start a brain drain of my key people. I’ll tell you what. I’m willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?
Employee: That’s enough to keep me here. Thank you, sir.
Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies are after you?
Employee: The Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company.
