    It sucks when this is “before you took over and changed everything…”

    (also, this one also seems political too… sorry, I said I wouldn’t do that anymore, but…)

      Well, I guess the workplace has a form of politics. 🤷 A lot of the jokes in this comic are workers vs management. I think of it as finding humor in daily office life.

      Would you call the TV show The Office political? The humor is similar I think

        I would, but I’m not trying to be an ass or anything. I just can’t help but see the power dynamics in most things. I think some people can’t stand the office (the show) due to “the cringe.” And part of that cringe is the office politics woven into many situations.

      Yeah workplace politics is definitely a thing, but the guidelines I set specifically target govt and megacorp current events. This is more like, eternal human nature.

      (Just explaining my viewpoint so others have a better idea what the comm is about).
