Appraisal vs Resignation

a) 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.

b) 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 !

c) 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.

d) 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.





the above is so true.. everything above happened to me (except that my pay hike is not 60%).. the management just dun realise that they are underpaying someone till the person decides to leave.. they thought that they are getting a good bargain? hmm...

i've also learnt a good lesson, that is everything is over when the relationship ends, irregardless of what have been promised. corporate world is just so real..
