The Scenario:(In bold) This quiet firing humor cartoon depicts the most unsettling phase of a corporate career.
The protagonist isn't being yelled at or blamed; in fact, the "blame" has completely stopped.
While they initially think they've found peace, they quickly realize that being excluded from the "blame game" is the ultimate sign of quiet firing.
It parodies the toxic reality that in some offices, if management doesn't care enough to point a finger at you, they’ve already decided to point you toward the exit.
The Observation: This narrative identifies "The Scapegoat’s Value."
At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that the only thing worse than being the office fall guy is being the office ghost.
This post is the existential anchor of our scapegoat cartoons cluster, revealing that being a target is actually a perverse form of job security—it means you’re still a vital part of the organizational drama.
Once the silence sets in, the quiet firing has already begun.
In a dysfunctional office, you should only start worrying when your boss stops looking for reasons to fire you and starts looking for reasons to forget you exist.
