Panel 1:
Employee (a young man with orange hair, holding a sheet of paper): I didn't get paid this week, boss.
Boss (an older bald man with glasses, seen from behind): That's right.
Panel 2:
Boss: Instead of providing extrinsic rewards, I'm trying to encourage a "growth mentality."
Panel 3:
Boss: I want you to discover for yourself the beauty of merging old spreadsheet files, rather than doing it just because I say so.
Panel 4:
Employee (off-panel): You're not my parents!
Boss: If by that you mean I'm not paying for college, you are correct.
Votey:

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a young orange-haired employee holds a sheet of paper and says "I didn't get paid this week, boss," to a bald, bespectacled boss seen from behind, who replies "That's right." Panel 2: the boss, now facing forward, explains, "Instead of providing extrinsic rewards, I'm trying to encourage a 'growth mentality.'" Panel 3: the boss continues, "I want you to discover for yourself the beauty of merging old spreadsheet files, rather than doing it just because I say so." Panel 4: in a darkened panel, the employee (off-panel) protests "You're not my parents!" and the boss answers, "If by that you mean I'm not paying for college, you are correct." Votey: a sketchy hand-drawn doodle of a grinning face.
