Title: "Loyalty Over Competence"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a meeting where a company executive values loyalty over competence, stating that it's a sign of a great leader. The conversation unfolds as follows:

• An unqualified individual is hired to run the quality control group.
• The executive asks if anyone has any problems with this decision, and the employee seated next to him responds, "It makes you look extra disloyal."
• The executive's response is not shown, but the implication is that he prioritizes loyalty over competence.

This comic strip satirizes the prioritization of loyalty over competence in leadership, highlighting the potential consequences of such an approach.
