Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 28, 2018

And they’re going to be going around in circles…

Are they planning to compete in “Dancing With Ships?”

Recession coming, time to circle the boats!

I’ve worked of places like that. And they had the drummer playing double time.

Excellent – now they are up sh#t creek with the paddle(s)!

Uh, Bonespurs just got half the crew fired, just like in his White House.

interesting rowing arrangement.

They will be busy rowing around and the management will be content because there be full emploiment and no shareholders around to ask questions.

And they’re rowing in the wrong direction. Well, half of them are.

Sometimes going in circles is just exactly what management needs. It doesn’t matter what their people are doing, it matters that they have people to manage.

General Motor’s new Ship Division.

Sometimes, I wish there was a dislike link.

I take it this is a “right to work” state. On the other hand, unions have long ago become just another level of management.

Eyes must be going…I had to enlarge to see what their problem was.

That’s a business that’s just going in circles…

Next they will decide to increase management. They’ll find they can’t afford more big salaries, so they’ll fire half the workers – and wonder why production is down. Why does an MBA destroy common sense?

A non union job is no job at all. That ship is Wall Mart !

WOW! Talk about circular thinking!!

A regressive management attempting progressive policy.

To be the devil’s advocate, maybe they are just mediating a fast change of direction, to avoid a sinister storm closing in fast on the horizon?

Congress in an open session

“Management by the numbers” was one of the precepts of the managed economy of the old Soviet Union. In one classic example, the manager of a shoe factory was being evaluated on how many shoes it could turn out per month. He discovered that he could up his numbers significantly if he made only left shoes, so he did. And got rewarded for it.

“I have some good news, and some bad news! The good news is no battles today! The Bad news is that the captain wants to go water skiing…”

For those right wing nuts who think it’s the left that “controls” education, if schools for the <1%‘ers work so well how come they can see what’s in front of their nose? More than 50 years ago there were riots near here. Reporters went into the community after that and asked what was needed. Answer? Jobs, good schools, decent housing. On the anniversary the reporters went back, asked the same question,… got the same answer. 50+ damn years. Wanna get some job growth that’s more than part-time, minimum wage, and no benefits? That’d be good. Americans are working harder for less than they did 50 or 60 years ago by a large percentage. There’s 3 types of liars – liars, damned liars, and statisticians.

So much “stuff” - sigh - I was hoping to see some clever remark about Number XLIII being saved so he could end up on the Planet of the Apes.

Rowers like that will only go in very tight circles!

Just another business cycle.

Where I worked (a stringed instrument manufacturer) it got to where there were as many people walking around with clipboards as there were people actually making instruments. When the company continued losing money they laid off, wait for it, people who actually made the instruments.

“Here we go ’round in circles!” ♪♪

That boat is going nowhere but in circles…..rowers going in opposite directions….

Mock not those who go around in circles, for they shall be known as big wheels.

The rowers on the right side of the boat are rowing backwards so they just go in a circle. Where have I seen that before…

The only job no one wants.

Turn around! Turn around! Turn around! Ok, now keep that up!

Bad design.

Looks to me like a staff-is-low-cockup.

This comic will be hung up in a lot of work places.

Hate to pick some more nits here (well, maybe not hate — but if both sides apply equal force (thrust) at the same time, the boat will remain static. If one side applies a higher thrust, the boat will rotate in the direction in the direction of the greater thrust (again, assuming the applied forces are consistent). No circular motion would result. {Stepping down from Isaac Newton’s Chair}.

I had to look harder to find out that the two sides are rowing in opposite directions. I thought it was that they only had one guy on each ore.

Wiley…you’ve done it again !

Circling the watercraft predated circling the wagons

The way they are seated in opposite directions from side to side makes me think they will be going around in circles.

They will Improve the arrangement by building Cubicle Walls around the rowers to prevent them from Distracting one another.

This one reminds me of a wise remark from a former boss (a veteran Navy Commander). “Blessed are they that go around in circles, for they shall be called Big Wheels.”

Manager in the White House was a revolution in mathematics; he’s a zero.

It’s a speedboat, to much rowers are making the boat to heavy.

Never read so many comments on such a silly cartoon, well drawn.

They are going to row in circles?
