Black-and-white offboarding cartoon showing a long-forgotten intern with a beard, cobwebbed computer, and shocked managers realizing he was never offboarded.

The Scenario: In this offboarding cartoon, we witness a classic breakdown in HR policy.


While the physical exit was completed, the digital offboarding remains in a state of "zombie" activity.


It highlights the gap between a written policy and the actual execution of revoking credentials, proving that sometimes the "ghosts in the machine" are actually just former interns.


The Observation: This piece of workplace satire targets the "Policy Execution" gap. It critiques a culture where an offboarding cartoon is necessary to remind us that a process is only as good as its final step.


At Kaapi with Ravi, we show that even the most rigorous HR policies can fall apart when the "delete" button is forgotten.


An HR policy is only a theory until it successfully deletes an intern's Slack access on their final day.
