Difference Between Appraisal and Resignation

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"
Comparative study: Appraisal and Resignation 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. In an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike.
In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike. During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn't meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in the company’s objective/goal.
During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company, how can you go, you have to take the project on your shoulder and lead your juniors to success. There is 90% chance for not getting any significant incentives after appraisal. There is 90% chance of getting immediate hike after you file your resignation.
