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.

Stay home for those too, nobody wants to get sick because you feel the need to be seen at work. We see you and we all think you're an asshole for coming in sick.
What's wild is that even from a purely business perspective that's the right choice. Missing someone entirely for a day or three is so much better than half the office operating at half capacity because they're all sick.
Sometimes it feels more reasonable to think of a corporation as a pure power structure with some apparent productive output as alibi.
That's a nice idea and all but largely companies that are too ineffective tend to go bust. Like yeah they get away with some stuff, but there is a limit. It's competition that determines that limit. The more competition in an industry the more efficient you have to be and the less returns the owners will get. It's one of the better aspects of capitalism - for the most part. It could lead to companies cutting costs that cause issues down the road.
Oh absolutely. But the bigger or more monopolistic the company, the higher the limit. Some can get away with running in circles for years while people play career ladder games in successive restructurings.
