Office gossip exit interview cartoon showing an employee confirming a quitting rumour during HR discussion

The Scenario: This office gossip exit interview cartoon highlights a hilarious new level of corporate efficiency.


Instead of waiting for a formal letter, HR has called an employee into a room for a full exit interview based entirely on a "strong rumor" that they are quitting.


It parodies the ultimate surrender of official systems to the power of the grapevine, where the whisper network is now considered a more reliable data source than the actual employee.


The Observation: This narrative identifies the "Post-Process Era" of human resources.


At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that when an organization stops trusting its own formal channels, it starts treating gossip as a binding contract.


This post mocks the absurdity of an HR department that is so "proactive" it begins offboarding people who haven't even decided to leave yet.


In some offices, the rumor mill is so efficient that HR will have your desk cleared and your cake ordered before you’ve even finished updating your LinkedIn.
