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.

MODERATORS
the issue with giving someone eternal office work as a punishment is that you cant have them fired without ending the eternal office work, and being dead presumably they cant starve to death, so if they just start slacking off and ignoring their "job", what are you gonna do?
That's the whole point of Sisyphus. He could stop at literally any time, he could slack off. No one forces him, except by virtue of the fact that there's nothing else for him to do. That friction between "I don't want to do this anymore, it's pointless" and "but doing nothing is more miserable" is one of the biggest absurdities in the myth.
Same thing you do when they stop pushing that rock. Force them.
Watch me fuck up these Excel numbers and projections for the next 6 quarters.
Have you not heard of "fluffy fingers"? Its what HR represenatives do in offices to enslaved employees. It's when you tie the employee up with handcuffs and ropes, and tickle their feet for their whole lunch break.
.......not that I ever got fired from my job of HR representitive for inappropriate behavior......
Are you hiring
Have you watched the show Severance? Excellent dive into that question and more.
Thought it was pretty funny when the name of the company was mentioned - I work for a company with almost the same name, just a letter off. That show struck a little close to home.
Never heard of it to be honest
