Reading the workplace between the lines
RealityBytesMe follows the distance between what an organization says and what its people have to do. A promise becomes a deadline, a deadline becomes somebody else's problem, and a slide somehow stays green throughout. The cartoons make those transfers visible through fictional characters, exaggerated situations and the familiar language of meetings.
Start with a single cartoon if a phrase or title sounds uncomfortably familiar. Its page brings the artwork together with a transcript or accessible summary and an explanation of the workplace pattern behind it. The themed volumes let you compare related situations: accountability without authority, a quick win with hidden dependencies, or a report that becomes more reassuring the further it travels from the work.
The longer Rants explore the same questions beyond the frame. Who makes the decision? Who carries its cost? What behavior does the process actually reward? Readers can also suggest a fictional workplace situation for a future drawing. A useful idea needs a recognizable contradiction more than it needs a villain: the best corporate absurdities often begin with a perfectly reasonable sentence that means something very different to the person receiving it.
