Self Appraisal

A little boy went into a store and reached for the public telephone. Standing on an empty carton--he was too short to reach the buttons—and proceeded to dial the numbers.

 

The store-owner got curious and listened to the conversation:

Boy: Good morning Ma'am! I'm a boy looking for a part time job... Can I cut your lawn?

 

Woman: (at the other end): No, I already have someone to cut my lawn.

 

Boy: O, is that? Lady, I can do the job for half the price you are paying now.

 

Woman: No, my boy. I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently doing it.

 

Boy: (with more perseverance) Ma'am, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm Beach.

 

Woman: No, thank you.

 

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. Store Owner: Hmm... Too bad the lady refused! But I like your positive spirit! Good, I can offer you a job.

 

Boy: No Sir, thanks. I don't need a job. I'm already engaged.

 

Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one!

 

Boy: Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!

 

WELL, THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL SELF APPRAISAL

 very good dear -i-like it--but in case accountant -businessmen quickly enaged that boy without any hesitation -as when he offer low price salary------inspite of all hard work ,loyalty ,sincierty no rewards for accountant-----businessman -thinks their job is very easy and value less -to save money ---they are always ready to kick any accountant.

I dont think so. If you are producing good results then in any ways you will get good returns. your value would not decrease but it will go otherway round.

The reason is if that new person does not perform well then you can call back and if new person done well then there is no point in keeping you instead that new guy who is doing work at lessser cost.

 ya-you are absolutely right my dear
