AI productivity trap cartoon by Kaapi with Ravi showing a manager celebrating a 30% output increase while the CEO whispers to HR about cutting the team.

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.
