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.

Potato potato, but if someone is already having trouble playing the interview game, I think that last sentence could come across wrong.
Like you said, you take your actual reasons: I have bills to pay, you're a reasonable distance away, you're hiring. And you find the truthful but carefully worded way to make it sound acceptable. I've always considered this interview question more of a test of communication skills than culty company loyalty test.
Like, if something's wrong because your co-worker fucked it up are you just going to vomit that point blank at a customer, or do you have the ability to word it better?
My point is just that "I want money" is not an answer, since that would apply to all possible places of employment and yet you applied here in particular. Why? Is it just because you live nearby and there are no other options? Then that's a perfectly valid answer.
