Comic Strip Title: "Layoffs"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a meeting where the CEO, Dilbert, is discussing layoffs with his employees. The conversation begins with Dilbert asking for input on who to lay off, but the employees are hesitant to provide suggestions.

• The first employee, a woman with a purple shirt, suggests that the CEO should lay off someone who is not doing their job well.
• The second employee, a man with an orange shirt, recommends laying off someone who is not a good fit for the company.
• The third employee, a woman with a blue shirt, suggests laying off someone who is not contributing to the company's success.

Dilbert then reveals that his focus will be on people who ask that question, implying that he will use the employees' suggestions against them. The comic strip ends with the employees looking worried and concerned about their own jobs.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the idea of layoffs and the challenges of making difficult decisions in the workplace. It highlights the tension between the CEO's desire to make tough choices and the employees' fear of being laid off.
