This individual got the joke.

I thought the punchline is that he's a bear with a job.

Or that his job put a glass ceiling on him by giving him a promotion opportunity they expected him to blow.

It happens more often than you think. There's an old German song about a bear who accidentally gets a job in a factory they built above his cave one winter. When he roams around the factory after waking up they mistake him for an unshaved, lazy worker and put him in front of a machine to do some tedious work.

It's basically the opposite story to the one in this comic.

no no, it's that he sleeps completely naked except for that nightcap
