BRADLEY'S JOB IS TO RECOMMEND TO OUR BOARD HOW MUCH TO PAY COMPANY EXECUTIVES SUCH AS ME.

BRADLEY IS TOTALLY OBJECTIVE.

TOTALLY.

THAT WAS A WORLD- CLASS OBSERVATION, SO I'LL RECOMMEND THAT THE COMPANY BUY YOU A PONY.

...A STRONG PONY TO CARRY THE HUGE BAGS OF CASH I RECOMMEND FOR YOU.

GOOD WORK, BRADLEY.

I'LL RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD THAT YOU GET A HUGE RAISE!

GAAA!!! STOP PRETENDING TO HAVE REASONS!!

JUST STEAL THE STUPID MONEY!!!

SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY DAY?

Summary

In this comic strip, the new manager of executive compensation, Bradley, is introduced to the board of directors. He is tasked with recommending how much to pay the company's executives, and he suggests that they be paid in the form of a pony. The board members are skeptical and confused by this proposal, but Bradley insists that it is a good idea. He claims that the pony will carry the huge bags of cash that he recommends for them, and that it will also reduce the company's vacation costs. The board members are unimpressed and continue to question Bradley's proposal, ultimately rejecting it.
