Comic Strip Title: "Job Performance Reflection"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a man's surprise realization that his job performance mirrors his career. He confronts his boss, who initially seems uninterested. However, when the man threatens to lower his performance unless he receives a promotion, the boss becomes alarmed, warning him to "curse his eyes" for potentially jeopardizing his job. The strip humorously highlights the absurdity of workplace dynamics and the consequences of taking one's performance too seriously.
