The Scenario: In this AI productivity trap cartoon, we see the modern "reward" for optimization.
A manager proudly points to a chart showing a 30% increase in output thanks to AI tools. Behind him, the CEO is already whispering to HR about a 40% headcount reduction.
It perfectly captures the terrifying corporate math: the more efficient you prove your team can be with AI, the more you accidentally prove your team is too large.
The Observation: This piece of workplace satire targets the "Automation Paradox."
It critiques a culture where an AI productivity trap cartoon is no longer a joke, but a strategic reality for leadership.
At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical yet brutal truth that in a "people-first" company, the "people" are often the first thing traded for a slightly higher productivity percentage.
The trap isn't that AI will do your job; it's that you'll do your job so well that the company decides they only need half of you.
