A workplace comic about the 'inefficiency reward' phenomenon, illustrated by a reader's story: a developer spent months writing 8,000 lines of unreadable code for a simple password validation routine, while efficient colleagues were criticized for 'slacking.' When a 30-line solution was written in minutes, the contrast exposed the inefficient developer's poor output, leading to his transfer out of engineering. The comments highlight a common workplace irony where visible busyness is rewarded over actual productivity.
