Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for December 06, 2008

It may be time to quit this job and move on, Baldo.

He’s better qualfied? Does that translate into he’s not hispanic??? Just asking, ya know.

Tell me about it. Lost my retirement job to a “neighborhood” kid. Then get this the boss was pissed when I found something else and didn’t want to come in and work part-time when ever things got behind.

So, just HOW does being bone-idle make him better qualified? I think it’s DEFINITELY time to find a different job.

Oh, not cool, Mr. Rod… Baldo, it may be time to send in your two weeks notice.

What??? Better qualified ?

snapper1, I agree with you.

depends on the company…where I work the CEO actually comes onto the call center floor and listens to calls with us (as in, he has his own y-jack and headset and he just walks up and asks to sit with you)… Freaks you the heck out when it happens, but after the call you get to have a conversation with the guy who is actually running the place about your job and how you feel about it… pretty cool actually…

My husband worked for a company where he claimed a lobotomy was required for all managers…

This is getting interesting

More qualified? Than whom - Zonker Harris?

I wonder if he’s setting up something more dramatic or sinister with this. It’s believable that Mr. Rod is an idiot. It’s not believable that he’s having a conversation with one of the kids about who he’s going to promote: “What do you think of this?”, “I thought you’d be happy!”

Where is this conversation going? What is the point?

Rod promotes Joey. Baldo gets mad. Baldo decides to quit or not to quit. Why would Rod have a conversation about it with Baldo before he tells Joey his decision?

This is some of the most appalling writing in a comic since The Mullets.

Hamhanded, strawman, forced, ridiculous. The art’s good though.

I’m a conservative and I am apalled about this. If “better qualified” means “better qualified” in avoidig work. I can not figure out how “Me. Rod” stays in business. I know this is a comic but this is apalling.

I bet Mr. Rod kissed Joey’s butt so he gave Joey the stupid promotion. Sheesh!
