Comic Transcript

KING: ... so I put him on hold for three hours.

ALEX: Good one.

SCOTT: That does it.

SCOTT: Every week I listen to you guys talk about all the terrible things you do to our customers... and every week I ask myself "why do I work here?" I mean, let's face facts -- the only reason I'm still employed is that if Ubersoft doesn't have at least one token honest, hard-working employee to use as an amoral compass then the rest of you will start exhibiting moral behavior!

SCOTT: It's hopeless. Ubersoft is never going to change as long as I keep working here. I quit.

(Pause.)

SCOTT: By the way, thanks for inviting me out to lunch. It was a nice change of pace.

ALEX: Don't mention it.

Oh yeah the apocalypse is coming alright. First theres the iPhone, and now Scott grows a pair and quits.

There's no way this will end well.....

The end is nigh...

Taking a line from a Watchers (fan-written spinoff to Buffy) ep, "The end has been nigh at least once a year for the past ten years or so, we've un-nighed it every time."

I have Faith (heh...sorry) that Ubersoft will stand strong through the storm that will follow Scott's departure.

Yes...I am a weird, weird person.
