What does the “Boardroom Suggestion” meme mean?

The humor stems from violent exaggeration: proposing a logical solution leads to extreme punishment, illustrating management's fear of change or misunderstanding of their market.
Where does the “Boardroom Suggestion” meme come from?
The exact source is a four-panel comic titled 'Outlook Oust', published on the Hejibits website on December 24, 2012, by John Kleckner. The scene depicts a fictional meeting at Nintendo regarding the Wii U console. Two employees give conventional answers, while a third proposes an idea centered on buyer expectations. In response, his superior violently throws him out of the room through the window. On January 11, 2013, Memebase (Cheezburger) reposted the image, triggering its virality. Variants then circulated on 4chan and Reddit, transforming the schema into a fill-in-the-blank image model to criticize various sectors.
