The Isle of the Ployees is the sixth story in chapter 23 of Sluggy Freelance, Spring in the Air. Torg plans to get a job. To prevent this, Riff tells him of a dream he had where he was stranded on an island with definite corporation metaphors, from which he was eventually "fired" by being thrown into a volcano. When Torg asks how this is supposed to shatter his confidence in getting the job, Riff tells him that he missed his job interview.
