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.

My experience is different. Yes, when they want to hire you they say we're all like a family.
When revenue drops, they say it again - stressing that we all need to pull together, which usually means something like fewer benefits, more hours for the same wage and deferred raises.
When revenue rises, there should - logically - be a speech where we, as a family, celebrate our wealth and share it with everyone. That never happens though.
we just grilled our bosses because they do a quarterly presentation about how well the company is doing, and then in May and September laid off 20% then 30% of the company for "financial" reasons.
I think they think that now AI is here we can all just do the work without people? But what that means is you just get unreconstructed verbatim AI output as a service.
More like "When the revenue doesn't go up by as much as they want"
Ha ha! Fools!
Revenue hasn't have to drop for corporations to do layoffs for years already!
