Business Cartoons

"Remember when Bruce wanted to 'rally the troops,' we all just got a memo in email?"

"Frankly, I liked it better when we ran around barking like heck and scaring them into the pen."

"We're using just-in-time inventory and jut-in-time material flows which have saved us from implementing our just-in-time bankruptcy plan."

"Okay, what else? Flex-time, on-site health club, 4-day work week and use of the company drum - I'll see what I can do."

(Shark Adventure. Swim With The Sharks. Learn Day Trading.)

"I think it's time to institute an HR policy, Robin. The men aren't looking too merry as of late."

"Our Customer survey indicates 30% of our customers think our service is inconsistent, 40% would like a change in procedures, and 50% think it would be real cute if we all wore matching colored vests."

"We're looking for someone with a high level of self confidence, Mr. Anthony. Unfortunately, I think you're over qualified."

"Oh, we're doing just great. Philip and I are selling decorative jelly jars on the Web. I run the Web site and Philip sort of controls the inventory."
