Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

that's just normal people.
"no one wants to work any more" is code for "no one wants to be blackmailed into volunteering extra time for less money"
which, no shit.
my manager gave us all a speech on how we need to work extra hard to close the year out with a bang. My dude, me working extra hard only earns you extra money (he's C level company founder), not me.
if you want me to work extra hard, set me achievable targets properly recompensed. It's not personal, it's just business.
That's my brother. When the boss asks to do overtime he opens a spreadsheet that calculates what every hour of overtime actually puts in the bank account. It's surprisingly low. Then he asks the boss to make it worth his time.
In my brother's place they changed the end of year bonus. It's no longer on an individual level but as a group. And the targets van change at any time. Who are they trying to fool.
I think myself, I'll probably get the "you're indispensable but they're isn't any budget for a raise" this year
Yeah my time off is worth more than 1.5x my pay except in very few circumstances.
I'd actually rather get 1.5x comp time instead of overtime pay. And that works out as a better deal for both of us.
