Holy shit 400 email per week on lowest tier. One would have to write 10 emails per hour so you would be writing nothing but email all the time

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links

MODERATORS
Emails received. If youre going to CC me on everything youll run out of allowance in no time
I had a colleague who deliberately ignored anything that didn't have his name in the To: field.
Sometimes it bit him on the rear, metaphorically speaking, but most of the time it worked. To everyone else's annoyance.
but that's the thing, there's nothing I need to do if it isn't addressed to me. thank you for giving me the opportunity to be aware of whatever it is, but I no longer care because I am not rewarded or compensated for going above and beyond, so I won't be. and reading emails that aren't addressed to me is not a requirement.
Yeah, that's how I do it at work. Anything not specifically sent to me will go into one of my extra folders. I don't often look at most of these until I ran out of other work, which very rarely happens.
Hm? But that is okay, CC is only like "note this happened and read if you want"? What else is CC supposed to be if not that? Why not put people in the "to" if you need their input?
That's how it's supposed to work though...
If that's how it's supposed to work, there'd be no point in the CC field at all, would there?
CC is not for ignoring. It's for your information even if you're not an intended participant in the conversation. i.e. you're supposed to at least read it.
Eh, I see it as more of a "if you come across a need for this information, it is searchable to you, but response is not expected."
I use CC quite a lot. People in the CC are supposed to read the email because it is in their interest, even though they don't need to reply.
E.g.
To: Graphic Designer Cc: Programmer, Middle Manager We considered the three options that you gave us. We decided to go with option 2 because option 1 was too technically complicated to implement and the big boss didn't like the color of option 3. Please, send the assets to Programmer and forward your invoice to Middle Manager.
It's a carbon copy for archival. That shit might show up when you're searching your inbox, so it still makes sense. I automatically shove all mails where I'm in Cc into a separate folder and skim through it once a week maybe. If you want me to do something, then please address me directly. If you're not capable of that, then you should perhaps look for a different job.
They having mailing lists. Everything is "to" those lists where you belong to.
This amount obviously includes automated emails sent on your behalf by Jira and Confluence. Of course also a tiny *Up to 400 in the fine print.
Reality:
- Basic $2000
- Standard $2000
- Premium $2000
And if you're lucky to have a union, they fight for raising that by $10, with employers pushing back for every cent.
And if you offer Premium, theyβll drown you in work while your Basic colleagues will just push off any responsibility so that it will eventually end up on your desk anyway. Not worth it.
- Poop breaks per month or day?
- It's a propreitery time-measurement standard.
are you taking a break to poop or are you taking a break from pooping? know how to work the wording.
all 40 hours ? disgusting, the lower tiers should start at way fewer hours
For real! Unions are the answer. I work 35h a week, have 30 days of vacation per year and an additional 6 days off, that can also be transformed into money instead. But fuck Money, 6 days more freedom is where it's at! I still make 85-95k⬠annually.
Ok, now I wanna try this :D
