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. " 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.
During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.
In a resignation meeting you can easily demand (or get more without asking) more than 50-60% pay-hike !
During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.During resignation, they'll say you are the core member of theteam; that you are the vision the company, and of " How can you go ? "; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead yourjuniors to success.

There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.
There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay-hike after you put in your resignation.

Trainee : " Yes, boss, good enough. Now I know what to do. When you are about to do my appraisal, I will resign. "
