BOFH: I talked to Claude and he says you’re an idiot

The Boss suspects the narrator and the PFY are using accumulated sick leave to take frequent one-day absences, with supposed illnesses appearing in alphabetical order. When challenged about missing medical certificates, the narrator says Claude reviewed the contract and supports their interpretation of its rules.

The Boss produces a written notice seeking to change those rules, but Claude reportedly argues that the change cannot apply retrospectively and requires mutual agreement. The exchange ends with the Boss pointing out that an email from Claude claiming the narrator has a dental abscess is not a medical certificate. The comic turns on the pair treating an AI chatbot as an authority in a workplace dispute.
