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.

It's true, and much of the enlightened world does it. American businesses, on the other hand, largely measure productivity by how sufficiently drained/beat up their employees appear at the end of the day.
I mentioned to my current supervisor once that I was going to the gym after work, to which their reply was "I guess you didn't work hard enough today then, haha." my mistake for momentarily forgetting a lesson I knew: the owners and their doting lackeys are the the opposite of friends, if it's not work related, it should be a lie(same as they do to you constantly) or silence. At least in the US.
Just like when you're in the presence of an American cop, when at work, anything you say can and will be used against you, so be as fake and stepford as possible.
Ain't it the truth. I'm an American who does software development for a French company and it's amazing. 10/10. Best job I've ever had.
