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.

I'm a software developer and my company flat out refuses to hire graduates (if they didn't work as students here) or offer apprenticeships, even though apprenticeships are a great way to basically produce your own developers.
At the same time, there's a constant staff shortage basically everywhere and we even have to refuse projects because we can't staff them.
If your company isn’t planning on increasing their salary by 50% over the first couple of years then it is a waste of time. You take the hit of all the training and unproductive first year, then they go somewhere else.
Paying a salary that you would have to pay anyway shouldn't be controversial.
Also, not every country has this job hopping attitude. My previous employer had tons of "early hires" that were trained by the company and didn't quit the moment they were deemed "valuable" in the market.
I agree completely, unfortunately the company itself rarely does.
