Hubris wasn’t much of a corporate style boss.
David, on the other hand, probably doesn’t know what other kind of boss to be. So forgive him if he just wants what he wants and expects that his employees know how to get things done.
Nikki, on the other hand, knows when someone’s asking for something they don’t really want.
She probably knows that Bob ISN’T asking to be tossed under the bus, but Bob pretty laid back. If a bus can pass over without doing damage, Bob might just be the passee.
How do YOU suppose this will shake out?
The definition of a good employee is one that knows how to do the job and can do it without intense supervision. The definition of a good boss is one who solves fewer problems than they create. David’s not a good boss.
I had a boss who refused to deal with his inbox. My instructions were unless it was a life and death matter to deal with it myself. Many an executive (!) decision was made by me, a gofer, and everything ran as normal. He was a great manager.
Seems like Nikki changed her hair again. o: She must dye it a lot.
Bob saw it coming and is already gone?
Welcome back Greg.
Did you go in for a re-replacement, of tine heart?
Thanks! I keep thinking I’m getting back on track, but I’ve got a really good client who’s determined to keep me working on the Real World Stuff.
Grrrr!
We’re happy that something pays the bills!
Welcome back! This is one of my all-time favourite comics! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Yay! Greg’s back! Bob vs. Corporate Mooks has fun written all over it!
Actually, Bob could be just the right person to handle these tightly-wound corporate types…
“Dude!”
Lowell has had some experience with Bob already, but he seems to relapse into uptight corporate mode too easily.
Yep! Lowell went off into the forest with the raccoons to ‘get happy’, but he came back and was happier when he had some corporate machinations to involve himself in.
Considering how perfectly Bob handled the hipster wanting customer shoes, I feel like he could perfectly slip into the role of sports shaman. Now whether or not he could do it without losing his mind while faced with all that corporate America…he might need to dip off to the beach again afterwards. Or midway through a rafting trip. But hey, the executives will be fine! The river is doing all the work taking them in the right direction, yeah? All good.
David is also not aware that normal employees (ie not finance interns hoping to get an expensive job) don’t volunteer their weekends….
Wow… Everyone must really like how David says “boardskating”.
You think that might become an actual sport, someday?
