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.

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
