Open source transcript

I NEED HELP MOTIVATING THE STAFF.

WHAT HAVE YOU ALREADY TRIED?

THREATS, BELITTLING.

HUMILIATION, EMPTY PROMISES, BERATING, SLOGANS, POSTERS AND BULLYING.

HMM... WE CAN'T PRAISE THEM OR ELSE THEY'D ASK FOR RAISES.

MAYBE THEY CAN BE MOTIVATED BY THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR WORK.

THEIR WORK IS MAKING SECOND- RATE PRODUCTS TO SELL TO IDIOTS SO OUR EXECUTIVES CAN AFFORD TROPHY WIVES.

HAVE YOU TRIED YELLING UNTIL YOUR FACE TURNS PURPLE?

MAKE THREE COPIES, PLEASE!!!

THIS IS NEW.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
