Man 2: I need a raise
Man: No one is irreplaceable
I once knew a guy who, through a strange set of circumstances, was RIFfed and never learned about it. So was his whole department. When he finally surfaced some months later and went to his boss’s boss’s boss, he was told that since he was “still here” he should stay. He ended up working for that company for 45 years.

Management by cliche. Ineffective but strangely familiar.

Jim Unger died a couple of weeks ago. Do you think they could update the bio beside the strip?

RIP Jim Unger. I will miss your comic if it does not have reprints.

I had an intermediate boss once that told my team
and I that he tried to fight for a 10% raise(we got 7%.)
One of my coworkers named Harry had grown up in the
mean streets of Pittsburgh and said to me.."Mike..We
need to take that guy out in the parking lot and teach him
how to fight!"..We laughed about that for a few years..
