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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Depends on the history. You never fire somebody on the first offense in a case of using inappropriate language on the job, because you have to account for their personal background - maybe where they grew up that language is totally normal and they really don't get that it's a problem. They have to be given a chance to change their behavior once they're aware that it's not okay. If they do it again, it's a valid violation of workplace standards and totally justifiable to fire them.
Brb getting a job as a greeter to see how lo g it takes to get fired for saying "gas the nigs"
That's ridiculous.
It is ridiculous, but it's also the rules HR organizations go by. What I described was the actual policy when I worked at Microsoft, as told to me by a friend in HR who said she'd had extensive training in handling sexual harassment. I don't know if it would literally be applied if somebody said "gas the nigs" but AFAIK it's the protocol you have to follow in a business to protect yourself from lawyers. Therefore if I were a business owner that's what I would do, because keeping my livelihood and keeping my other employees employed would mean more to me than feeling like an angel of justice or getting upvotes on lemmy.
