Title: "The Bluffing Engineer"

Summary:

The comic strip follows a conversation between an employee and their manager, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.

• The employee is fired after seven years of employment despite having no technical training.
• The manager reveals that the employee's background check turned up a Ph.D. in engineering, which they had been bluffing about for seven years.
• The employee is shocked and asks if they are still the employee of the month, to which the manager responds with a smile.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of people exaggerating their qualifications and the consequences of getting caught.
