Now, we know that the officers of the Israelites got beaten, but what about the taskmasters (as this comic implies)? One has to think that Pharaoh didn’t take it easy on anyone.

Regardless, the whole idea of taskmasters is prevalent in our society today. Some bosses want to squeeze every ounce of effort out of their employees, maximize their tasks. But we all know that if we pack too much into a work day, our productivity and morale suffer. But it’s easy to think people are slacking. Anyone who has been in management knows it’s tempting to become a taskmaster.

BTW, my apologies to Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, the best newspaper comic strip on the planet.
