1--Excuse me，sir, may I talk to you?
2--Bill! Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?
1--Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years.
2--Yes.
1--I won’t beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have three companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first.
2--A raise? Son, I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time.
1--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, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade.
2--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?
1--Great! It’s a deal! Thank you, sir!
2--Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?
1--Oh, the electric company, gas company and water company!
