Title: "The CEO's Dilemma"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between the CEO and a subordinate, who is hesitant to inoculate the CEO. The CEO's response is to threaten to reduce management layers, implying that the subordinate's children resemble the Director of Sales. The subordinate is then told that the CEO will buy him a few months, suggesting a possible resolution to the situation. The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of corporate politics and the use of intimidation tactics in the workplace.
