HERE'S YOUR ASSIGNMENT. DO IT! DO IT!

DO IT, YOU IDIOT!

WHAT KIND OF MANAGEMENT IS THAT?

THAT'S CALLED TOUGH LOVE.

TOUGH LOVE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND REFUSE TO CHANGE.

WELL, SOMETIMES MORE IS LESS.

THE SAYING IS 'LESS IS MORE," NOT "MORE IS LESS." IF LESS EQUALS MORE, THEN MORE MUST EQUAL LESS.

DUH.

THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU USUALLY REFUSE TO ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG.
