Comic Strip Title: "Act Like You Own the Company"

Summary:

The comic strip features a company's marketing department being fired and escorted out by security, with the remaining employees expressing relief and anticipation of their reaction. The strip satirizes the common phenomenon of employees adopting a "corporate speak" tone when interacting with upper management, often to the point of absurdity. The comic strip humorously highlights the disconnect between corporate culture and employee behavior, poking fun at the tendency for employees to adopt a robotic, corporate-like demeanor in their interactions with management.
