Subject: Difference between appraisal and resignation

What are you thinking about this appraisal? Let's read the conversation.

Comparison Study: Appraisal and Resignation

Appraisal
- In an appraisal meeting, they will speak only about your weaknesses, errors, and failures.

Resignation
- In a resignation meeting, they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements, and success.
- In an appraisal, you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% hike.
- In a resignation, you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than a 50-60% hike.
- During an appraisal, they will deny promotion, saying you didn't meet the expectations, lack leadership qualities, and have several drawbacks in our objectives/goals.
- During a resignation, they will say you are the core member of the team, the vision of the company. 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 an appraisal.
- There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate hike after you put in the resignation.

Trainee: "Yes, boss, enough. Now I understand my future. For an appraisal, I will have to resign."
