A manager in a black suit stands smiling while three stressed employees scramble at a desk filled with laptops and papers. Caption below reads: “As a team we need to be agile — so you can quickly fix whatever I mess up.
Corporate agility, but make it chaotic.

The Scenario: In this fix manager mess cartoon, we see the true face of modern flexibility.


The humor focuses on the employee being rebranded as an "Agile Response Unit"—a tactical team whose only mission is to fix the manager's mess quickly.


It’s a sharp look at how methodology is used to dress up the chaotic reality of cleaning up after leadership.


The Observation: This piece of workplace satire targets the "Sprint to Cleanup" paradox.


It critiques a culture where a fix manager mess cartoon serves as a mirror for teams that are "Agile" only in their ability to pivot toward a fire.


At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical irony that the faster the manager breaks things, the more "Agile" the team is forced to become.


True corporate agility is being able to clean up a manager's mess before the ink on their bad decision is even dry.
