AI Analysis

Title: "The Sales Target Enigma"

Summary:

• The comic strip revolves around a meeting where employees are informed that their pay will be directly tied to meeting sales targets.
• The twist is that the sales target is based on a complex formula involving numbers that cannot be accurately measured.
• One employee questions the logic of this approach, only to be met with a dismissive response from management.
• The strip pokes fun at the absurdity of using unmeasurable numbers to set sales targets and the lack of transparency in corporate decision-making.
