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.

As Dilbert laid out
Even the most intelligent worker will become an idiot once they are put into management
Being in management is surprisingly more difficult than it appears to be when you're not in management.
You deal with the employees' problems and higher management problems while not being able to influence the company or fully protect your employees.
This is a terrible position I hope to never be in again.
If you are good enough at your job and good enough with people, then you'll get pushed into management again. Realistically it's a compliment, but I understand the desire to weasel your way out of it, since that has been me too at multiple different times.
I believe so. Middle management is probably one of the worst positions to be in. No real power to change anything but people do expect it from you.
A good middle manager will change what they can, and hold the line against the things that they can't. They will be a bulwark of protection and understanding for those below them.
