Plain logic

So many side effects on budgets and the age-old ways that is blocking us from asking what is the right thing to do and instead asking, does it fit in the budget?

Inspiration from the Agility in Finance course with Agile People and Beyond Budgeting Institute.

Comic panel 1. An employee asks: “Can I get a raise?” The boss in a pink tie shrugs: “No, sorry we don’t have room for that in the budget.”

Panel 2. The employee, annoyed: “Ok, then I resign. I have another offer.” The boss looks surprised.

Panel 3. The boss, eager: “We can counter that offer.”

Panel 4. The employee: “But you said there was no room in the budget?” The boss: “Yes, but this is another budget.”
