Comic Strip Title: "Performance Review"

Summary:

The comic strip features a humorous exchange between a manager and an employee during a performance review. The employee is warned that it would take only three people to replace them, leaving them with a huge hiring and budget problem. The employee responds by resigning, citing the slightest criticism as a reason for leaving, and expressing relief that this was supposed to make them nervous, not them.
