Synopsis

The comic strip features a conversation between Alice, a job applicant, and a manager, in which Alice expresses her desire to be promoted to management. The manager is impressed by Alice's resume but notes that she is not a good fit for the role due to her tendency to abuse subordinates. Alice responds by saying that she speaks fluent Managerese, implying that she is able to communicate effectively with her superiors. The manager is skeptical, but Alice's enthusiasm and confidence ultimately win him over, and he decides to hire her as a manager.

Key Points

• Alice's resume is impressive, but she lacks the necessary skills and experience for a management role.
• The manager is hesitant to promote Alice due to her tendency to abuse subordinates.
• Alice's ability to speak fluent Managerese is a key factor in her being hired as a manager.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of corporate jargon and the ways in which it can be used to manipulate others.
