Open source transcript

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE LAUNCHED OUR NEW PRODUCT.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT ALL OF THE ENGINEERS LEFT THE PROJECT.

ALL OF THEM?

WHY WOULD THEY ALL LEAVE?

THEY'RE FOLLOWING OUR CORPORATE INCENTIVES.

THE ONLY ENGINEERS THIS COMPANY PROMOTES ARE THE ONES WHO LAUNCH PRODUCTS.

SO AS SOON AS THE PRODUCT IS LAUNCHED, ALL OF THE ENGINEERS LEAVE FOR PROMOTIONS IN OTHER GROUPS.

THEN THE PRODUCT FAILS FOR LACK OF GOOD ENGINEERING.

THEN WHAT DO WE DO?

WE BLAME THE SALES TEAM.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
