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.

Not really. It's because normally the consulting engagement runs for about six months. Most of the time, the ex-employee has something lined up after that and the company has had a chance to hire replacements (almost always plural) and have them trained by the exiting employee. If this all sounds desperately inneficient, its because it is. Some exec fucked up, but they'll never admit it, and the manager isn't complaining because they now have more head count and a bigger budget.
