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? 
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!
