AI Analysis

The comic strip depicts a company's attempt to determine the root cause of a problem, but ultimately concludes that the issue lies with the employees' lack of consistent strategy.

Key Elements:

• The company conducts an employee survey, which reveals that 95% of the staff do not have a consistent strategy.
• The executives form a "quality team" to identify the root cause of the problem.
• The team's conclusion is that the employees are either "nineties" or deserve more stock options.

The Joke:

The punchline of the comic strip is that the team's solution is to either fire the employees or give them more stock options, rather than addressing the underlying issue of a lack of consistent strategy. This highlights the absurdity of the situation and the company's lack of effective problem-solving skills.
