Logical question about unpaid lunch time
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel satirical webcomic set in a corporate office meeting. In the first panel, a male boss leans on the conference table telling his team that lunch is unpaid because that time is fully the employee's own to use. In the second panel, two employees agree positively, saying 'Cool' and 'Sounds great', before a third casual male employee asks a logical follow-up question: if lunch time is his own, can he take his lunch at the end of the work day to leave half an hour early. In the final panel, the boss is shown furious, and the employee who asked the question is thrown out of the office building's window, highlighting the blatant hypocrisy of the employer's claim that unpaid lunch time is truly freely usable by employees. The joke pokes fun at corporate double standards where companies only frame unpaid time as 'yours' when it benefits them, but refuse to let employees use that time as they choose.
