Clocking Out: The Performance Paradox

Updated: Dec 3

Cartoon of an office worker leaving precisely at closing time as colleagues and managers discuss how punctual departures impact his perceived commitment.

This cartoon exposes the hidden contradiction in how workplaces value dedication.


Despite being praised for reliability, performance, and teamwork, the protagonist is subtly penalized for respecting official work hours.


Why do organizations equate staying late with greater commitment, and does this mindset help or hurt team morale?


The scene is an invitation to rethink what truly matters in measuring professional value.
