redundant
Explanation
This comic satirizes corporate bureaucracy. An employee named Sally is being made redundant (laid off), and her boss explains that her "severance package is directly proportional to the amount of time it takes to do your job." The joke is that this creates a perverse incentive: if Sally's job takes a long time and involves extensive process, her severance will be large. The second half of the comic shows the logical consequence — the redundancy process itself has become so bloated with bureaucratic overhead that there is now a committee asking "How many of you does it take to fire Sally?" and wondering why the process takes so much time. The comic satirizes how corporate bureaucracies create self-perpetuating inefficiency, where even the act of eliminating redundancy becomes redundant.
