A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

The biggest injustice of being fired when you were very important, is that often no one even knows that your absence is responsible for the fact that a bunch of stuff is going wrong. Maybe your direct manager and coworkers will think “Oh, shouldn’t have fired them!”, but there’s no chance that upper management will be aware or hold anyone responsible for letting you go.
I was running a VBA macro I made in Excel at an old job that did the work of three people. I told my boss where to find my files when I left (shouldn’t have, I was young), but from what I hear he never bothered to look into my old work at all. They just hired three extra hands after I left. No one realized he cost the company $200,000+ a year or held him accountable.
