The Boomerang Employee: Escaping Accountability

In this Kaapi with Ravi cartoon, a cheerful “boomerang employee” takes the stage to receive his award — proudly declaring that he left a company with a “weird culture of transparency and accountability.”

It’s an ironic salute to how some organizations value returning employees more than reflecting on why they left in the first place.

Through humor and truth, it highlights a deeper question: Are we celebrating growth — or just the safe return to comfort zones?

If loyalty is prized over learning, is that culture or conditioning?
