Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Kid: Dad, is getting ahead about hard work or about luck and advantages?
Dad: Hard work.

Panel 2: Dad: My strategy is to work non-stop and barely sleep, but then act as if life is easy whenever I go to the office. This discourages co-workers or drives them to mental health crises, while simultaneously impressing my bosses.

Panel 3: Dad: If I can keep it up for five more years, I’ll be in a position to delegate all my work to people just like me. I will enjoy several decades of rising pay for minimal work until I die at my desk and they pick over my corpse like starved animals.

Panel 4: Dad: Pick away, you jackals! You can't hurt a man whose soul's already in hell! Hahahaha!

Panel 5: Sound Effect: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA…

Panel 6: Kid: I’m gonna drop out of the system.
Dad: That is so selfish.
