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.

I hate feeling like an expendable human resource. When I was laid off it was completely without advanced notice, they're never considerate enough to notify you two weeks in advance (like we are supposed to do).

It's not like the executive types are known for their empathy. I've seen the Chairman of the Board throw full on temper tantrums (and throwing stuff) at his subordinates. They have zero qualms laying us off if it means it increases this quarter's bottom line.

I live in a country where the company or you need to notify the other 2-6 months in advance. You can only quiet earlier if it is mutual.

I recommend joining a Union so you can also have the safety benefits that we do.

I live in a country (the US) where secondary and general strikes are illegal, so unions don’t have as much power.

In fairness, you usualy get severance that is more than 2 weeks, and you don't even have to go to work to collect it. That said, in like spain, I think they have to employ you until you find a new job or something.

Lol, severance? Did you get lost and end up in the 50s?

Everyone who gets severance is a real human being, I think you're referring to so-called "people" like myself that are blue collar. Our severance is "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, we'll make you pay to have it cleaned."
