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.

How in the world do you expect to function in a group if you can’t or won’t communicate with people in real time?

wow. i thought it was just me.

I've got really good people on the team -- but only if you trust them go do stuff with zero communications and then the pop back up with completed work. Which is kinda ok if you don't need to do any team projects. Its driving me nuts and I totally see why some managers are like "fuck it, get your ass into the same room". Its simply easier than coaching people on how to be slightly better than a chatbot.

What a breath of fresh air your comment is, thank you. The sheer absolute HATE I've been getting in this thread and others is so incredibly toxic and frustrating. I'm literally at the point where I'm like, you know what, you're right, stay the fuck at home and stay away from my team because I don't need that vitriol in my life.

I saw a thread recently here or on Reddit maybe hating on presentations and group assignments in school. It wasn't until I got to management that I realized how incredibly important those skills are.

Personally I'm convinced that it isn't "people don't want to work anymore." More like "people fucking suck at working together, on big projects, remotely, and friggin communicating as a team. So the sucky deadweight employees don't do squat, and the good ones are frustrated as hell, overburdened with their shithead colleagues work that the rest of us have to do now.

Sorry for the rant but this is fucking my shit up big time, and it's really hard getting all this pure hatred online by toxic people who refuse to even pick up the damn phone when I call to ask "how did you compute such and such" or whatever.
