His Boss called on the intercom during lunch time and asked him to meet immediately.
He wondered why his Boss was behaving a bit differently. He went to his cabin. His Boss was having a paper in his hand and with a serious note on his face, he offered him to take a seat.
He was expecting a transfer notice. It could have been an appraisal letter. But, the usual smile from the boss was missing.
Boss: (on a serious note) "What is your expectation in your appraisal?"
He: ( trying to be confident) I expect to be a Top Performer again and get a promotion this time.
Boss: (Paused) took a deep breath and said that the market is getting tougher and the company is trying to lay off those who have not performed well.
He: (Wondering why Boss was telling this to him, he was not an underperformer)
Boss: "I don't know how to tell you but I have to say this" ( he pauses..)
He : (Restless) What happened sir? Please tell me directly as the suspense is killing me.
Boss: (Gives a letter and shook hand) Congratulations! you have been promoted. And you are a Top Performer. Well done!
He : (Relief) Sir, why you made me feel like I am a reality show contestant and I am in safe zone now.
They laughed and he came out smiling. Sometimes, Bosses do try different things to scare employees.:)
