Is this trying to say that introverts are stupid? Cuz anyone that tries to do a 4 man job with one person is stupid.
It's moreso saying they'd rather suffer a disproportionate workload than deal with group work, for better or worse. It also has the subcommentary that a lot of workloads have their personnel requirements overestimated, or that sometimes interpersonal inefficiency/friction/etc. can turn a 1-person job into an artificially higher workload.
Well, we can steelman that subcommentary by pointing to blue collar workers in physically rigorous fields. Many blue collar workers are men, do not ask for help despite needing it, and take on jobs that will literally break them. Will they get it done? Maybe, but they sure ain't no pussy askin' fer help like a lil' bitch.
See what I mean? Seems like if you've got 5 people, one of them is a bad manager let's say; you still have 4 people to work on the job. It is, even with the dead weight manager, still more efficient than subtracting the manager + 3 other people. Unless those 3 are also dead weight, however if you somehow gathered that from the comic... kinda seems like projection.
Idk, seems pretty dumb to try and attempt most things solo - but muh rugged individualism, amirite?
Yeah that's why I wish things were better managed in general, so that we could all avoid over- and under-manned jobs :[
Yea... we all know the job would be easier with people, but um..
I don't want to bug my friends I don't want to (or cant) make new friends I don't have the money to hire people.
So, here I am.
