A newly joined trainee engineer asks his boss, "What is the meaning of appraisal?"
Boss: "Do you know the meaning of resignation?"
Trainee: "Yes, I do."
Boss: "So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation."
Comparison study: Appraisal and Resignation
Appraisal Resignation
In an appraisal meeting, they will speak only about your weaknesses, errors, and failures. In a resignation meeting, they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements, and success.
In an appraisal, you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% hike. In a resignation, you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than a 50-60% hike.
During an appraisal, they will deny a promotion, saying you didn't meet the expectations, lack leadership qualities, and had several drawbacks in our objectives/goals. During a resignation, they will say you are a core member of the team; you are the vision of the company - how can you go? You have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.
There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after an appraisal. There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate hike after you submit your resignation.
Trainee: "Yes, boss, enough. Now I understand my future. For an appraisal, I will have to resign...!!!"

Dear Boss,
Every time you leave a company, it seems like it was the worst place to work. Then, when you join a new company, after some time, you start to think that the previous one was actually better than the current one.
The moral of your story is - more risk, more gain.
