Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks.

Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

While I understand everyone needs to do what they can to make a living - there is nothing but contempt in my heart for people going through every single book with a barcode scanner in a thrift store.
