Haha ok guys this is funny because the character seen in the bottom right panel of this meme is Apollo from the Animal Crossing video game series. Apollo is an elderly eagle and villager in the Animal Crossing universe; he delivers this praise to you after you successfully complete a task for him. The person who created this image imagines a situation where he or she is at a real job interview and has put Apollo as a reference on his or her resume. When Apollo says the given lines in the video game, he is speaking to your character; the suggestion he gives is not meant to be manifested in reality, as a video game character can not sufficiently provide a reference to a human being. The person in question has severely misunderstood the nature of their relationships, with both the interviewer and Apollo, and will likely be ridiculed or frowned upon for their lack of insight. This is funny to us because it depicts a mistake so ridiculous that it delights our brains to imagine someone who is so out of touch with reality that they would make it. Due to this delight and some familiarity with the media provided, our brains form connections and allow us, the viewers, to experience comedy.

Has anyone ever gotten let go early during their notice period so the company could avoid paying you a bonus?

Feels like a systemic and existential deal for the practice with how incompetent the new people are.

They need to learn but not on short-burn, important client deals. Staff intelligently. They learn little and burn out people who get shit done.
