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.

My SO works fast food. Corporate never allocates enough hours so they're perpetually understaffed, but the store manager has permission to call people in if needed. So there's a lot of "your scheduled 10-4, but at 3:30 I'm gonna ask if you'll stay to 6, or I'll call you 2 hours before your shift to see if you can come in early".
Its a lose lose, nobody gets the hours they want, manager can't retain workers, people hate being called in or asked to stay late, and the schedule is always shorthanded and mostly a suggestion. Of course nobody wants to work in that shitty mess of cost cutting and begging employees to pick up the slack that the MBAs at corporate have caused.
Exactly the same as the store i worked at. No money to have more people scheduled in, plenty of money to ask for OT and call extra people in daily.
Before I quit there had not been a single day in half a year where the evening shift had enough people scheduled to do the amount of work we knew was going to be there. Not a single day the managers didn't have to beg for more people to come in. So when my options came down to become a manager or leave when my contract expired, I bolted.
And in the care taking sector. Three people needed per wing for a proper job. Two are scheduled, one of those calls in sick and for some strange reason nobody is picking up their phone. Well folks, looks like today has sub standard levels of hygiene on the menu.
Factories run similarly in my experience
It’s dumb as fuck but we have to reduce manpower further
