Panel 1:

• Dilbert's boss asks him why he can't give him a raise this year.
• Dilbert responds that he is lazy, undependable, and disruptive.

Panel 2:

• Dilbert's boss expresses his disappointment and frustration with Dilbert's behavior.
• Dilbert's coworker, Wally, intervenes and asks how the raise would be given.
• Dilbert's boss blames the victim, implying that someone else is responsible for the lack of a raise.

Panel 3:
