In our company it’s somehow the other way around:
Our bosses dish out tasks that require the IQ of a turnip. And the tasks that are actually interesting get outsourced to “specialists” that charge a small fortune.
Perhaps that’s why they began looking for several “Head of … department” after the last restructuring: They think there has to be someone with a brain eventually!
(But, so far everyone with a brain in good condition avoided to start in our company)
Yeah, but the tutrnps would rot by just being left there, and it would be more work for your boss to take measures to prevent that. I think your job’s safe, Adam.
Root vegetables have a tendency to be very durable and easy to store for a long time. Turnips get dry and wrinkly after a few years, but, well, who doesn’t?
Adam, the title is one of your more sublime puns; there’s a part of me that wonders if maybe you have no idea, or if you really are that manner of comedic genius, because, you know, we’d all prefer the latter because then we get to feel special except this really isn’t about us.
Most people worry about being replaced by a robot or an immigrant. I think you may be the first person replaced by a root vegetable with no noticeable drop in productivity.

Well, that was a turnip for the books.
I have similar thoughts every time I have a performance review meeting.
Do you ever worry that your boss or co-workers will become aware of this comic?
Nah. Pretty sure no one knows this thing even exists.
Glasses Bug’s body’s not filled in in panel 3. Just FIY.
I guess turnips are not good webcomic artists.
Whoopsie daisy! Good catch. Fixed it.

Comedic genius? Heavens no. Richard Pryor was a comedic genius. I’m just a doofus.

And the turnip will complain far less than me.
You could also be replaced by acorns, they’re a little nuts too
On the bright side, you won’t have to turnip anymore.
