The real joke is the ceo admitting fault. You can always blame "the market", "inflation" and "lackluster employee performance"!
- Or the new one: “rightsizing”
  
  If I hear the word rightsizing come out of my boss’ mouth, that mouth is immediately losing a few teeth. I would legitimately prefer the boss in this comic, because at least they’re honest.
  
  I wish my workplace would rightsize the workload
- “I take full responsibility. You’re fired.”
"I don't understand! This is the 5th company I've owned that has failed! Why can't I find the right people?!?!?!'
fifth panel: Have fun doing the work of 3 people
- Sixth panel: btw the board has rewarded me for the downsizing and gave me a raise
  
  Seventh panel: "Yourk work performance is not up to the task. You're fired."
  
  And that's where it becomes unrealistic.
  
  Edit: I was dumb. I thought you were talking about the employees.
- Can't believe this was left out.
I love being told that "we" need to tighten our belts by an executive that gets millions upon millions in total compensation.
- Our CIO who recently retired was often famous for justifying low/no raises or bonuses by saying "Well, money isn't everything" and yet still buying an airplane to casually fly
  
  Buying a plane can be a lot cheaper than you think, to be fair.
But now the security guard has work to do, they're creating jobs!

Some of you will be laid off, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
I've only seen four or five of these comics and each one of them is funnier than anything Scott Adams ever put out.
I should become security, they are always there still working when the firings happens.
- They have the same problem as IT.
  
  We don't have any security issues. What do we pay you for?
  
  We have security issues. What do we pay you for?
"No, I don't know who broke your car's windows. I don't work for you anymore, stop hassling me."
And by, "the" I mean, "my".
That's just how the universe works.
The buck stops here.

And by buck I mean money - what did you think I meant, responsibility? HAHAHAHAH! :-P [sob]
