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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I was a physical therapist working in skilled nursing. I had 2 weeks, but it was pooled time. So if I ever got sick, it came from there. We were "encouraged" to take PTO if our census was low to "maintain" our eligibility for our health care. We had 3 paid holidays, but we also had to negotiate within our department to work the Sunday before or the Saturday afer.
This is a position which requires a doctorate degree ($103,000 in 2014), sitting for a board exam, and a state based license. We were basically the top of the hierarchy at the facility, and that's how we were treated. The CNA's had a literally shit job, and made about the same pay as if they worked at McDonalds (and less than if they worked at Costco).
