It is that time of the year when corporate employees look forward to the annual appraisal. While most of us have high hopes about getting a good hike, there is no guarantee that this will happen. Still, there is nothing wrong with being optimistic. But how optimistic can you be about the appraisal? Definitely not as optimistic as the guy who e-mailed his boss asking for a 66.66 per cent hike.

Unprofessional say social media
Many on social media were left surprised by the unconventional way for the employee to ask for a hike.
"Looks unprofessional both the tone of email as well as conduct of asking for revision casually over an email. I'd think he has an alternate offer which is why the casual conduct. I'd suggest have a meeting and set expectations right. Be transparent in what can be offered," one person wrote.

Make it variable pay
"Make the CTC 50 and make the entire 20 variable based on some concrete milestones you'd like him to achieve before commanding that salary," suggested another person.
