A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

Absolutely. When the reward for being efficient and getting work done is additional work. Bob has the correct method. Corporations don't care about you.
Except he's still working late as a result
And fucking over the rest of the team by helping to perpetuate unreasonable expectations.
The correct response to too much work to accomplish in the time alotted isn't to burn your personal time, it's to communicate early and often with higher ups about the issues with the timeline, then let it fail.
That's a different argument. If it requires a team effort, you get it done and hand it over. You and the team should also have an understanding that you'll get it done and with enough time, but only hand it in when there is little time left. This helps reduce employer expectation and helps prevent burnout. Malicious compliance. Remember who has the real power in the employer/employee relationship
Gotta get that overtime. Cause can't afford to live otherwise 😭
Depends if he got all the other shit he needs to get done in his life during work time too which he no doubt did. This is the sensible approach.
Of course there are the cooked cunts who are just slow and inefficient and drag everyone down - I had one as my boss previously and it was painful. To the point of dragging my work down because of his slowness. That's not on. There's a big difference between "slow and inefficient" and "purposely slow and seemingly inefficient" .
Don't work yourself to death for companies.
Okay but... I'm kinda here for that, in this case? 😄
Agreed, don't single out people who might not be able to work more efficiently. Unless they are not even trying and it's hurting the team.
You have a boss that responds to logic?
No wonder.
Bob is clearly missing some coffee.
