A three-panel office comic. In panel one, a dark-haired boss in a suit and red tie tells a seated employee, "Dave, either improve your numbers or you're fired," and the employee snaps back, "You can't fire me!" In panel two the employee defiantly declares, "I have my dignity! I have my self respect! You can't fire me, because I qu..." then stops mid-word: "wait, hold on a sec." In panel three he finishes triumphantly, "Because I quit!" — having realized he was about to say something else. In the votey aftercomic, the boss offers, "I'll raise your wage 2% and use the word 'flexibility' from time to time," and the smiling employee immediately answers, "I'm in!"
