Comparison Study: Appraisal and Resignation
 
Appraisal
In appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.
 
Resignation
In resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.
 
Appraisal
In appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike.
 
Resignation
In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike.
 
Appraisal
During appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn' t meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in our objective/goal.
 
Resignation
During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company how can you go, you have to take the project in shoulder and lead your juniors to success.
 
Appraisal
There is 90% chance for not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.
 
Resignation
There is 90% chance of getting immediate hike after you put the resignation.
 
Trainee: "Yes boss enough, now I understood my future. For an appraisal I will have to resign ... !!!"
