fun fact (at least for me ;) ) that happened to me during a final oral exam; I had barely started my presentation when the examiners asked a few questions, then I resumed my presentation; a little later, as the end approached, one of the examiners told me "we'll have to think about concluding"; I paused for a few seconds, take a look at the timer, and continued after saying (with a smile): "I have x minutes left, plus the time already spent on the questions at the beginning."
It made them smile (and I finished right in the last minute of the timer :P ).
Imangine now how i can react if some managers would have behaved like in this strip >:D
So many times. In fact so many that I now deliberately abbreviate my slides to finish on time. They never wanted all that information anyway. I used to think it was important for them to know, but in reality none of them care, so why bother?
People leave bad managers...
Sometimes, it’s the only way to get certain people to leave…
Oh yeah, been on both sides of that one...

This is a great comic. It's cathartic. I read ones like this and think, "I remember that." Then I am even more thankful to be retired.
