APPRAISAL vs RESIGNATION

A newly-joined trainee engineer asks his boss ' What is the meaning of appraisal? '

Boss : ' Do you know the meaning of resignation ? '

Trainee : ' Yes, I do. '

Boss : ' So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation. '

Appraisal VS Resignation

In an appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.

In a resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.

During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.

In a resignation meeting you can easily demand ( or get more without asking ) more than 50-60% pay-hike !

During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.
During resignation, they'll say you are the core member of the team; that you are the vision of the company, and so ' How can you go ? '; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.


There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.


There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay-hike after you put in your resignation.


Trainee : ' Yes, boss, good enough. Now I know what to do.

When you are about to do my appraisal, I will resign. '

Some latest photos of me (The camwhoring me)

I realised that it's been a while since I put photos in my blog. Thus, I think it would be nice that my friends who rarely see me can see how I look like lately.

I tried camwhoring AGAIN (refuse to act as my age). Hahaha.... So, here we go....

Updates

It's been a while since I last updated my blog.

Life have been rather routine. Still working on losing some weight, which is still a very, very hard task. People like to feed me....

At last, last week, I handled the Japanese client after the long anticipation of difficulties & s*it she offered me and in exchange of the 2-days face to face ordeal, I gained two sentences of praise and gratitude via email. *Pat myself on my back*

Went to Genting two weeks ago and visit the casino 3 times and all 3 times got IC checked. Dunno whether should be upset or happy. One of the time, the security guard looked at my IC, looked at me and gave me back my IC with a smirk. Yeah, man, I know, I am going to hit the 3-0 sooner than I know. Dun jealous!

I also finished my first novel for year 2009 (The last oracle - James Rollin). I still prefer his previous title - The Judas Strain. Looking forward to pick up a 2nd good novel to read very soon. Maybe later tonight.

Okay, finish writing my random updates. May sound a bit gibberish as I still feel a bit tired as I have not sufficient rest over the weekend.

Cheers~
