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'll just just repeat this here. I am a US laborer. I got two days paid time off last year, and when I brought it up, my boss suggested saving them for an emergency. I got an email January 1 that they disappeared.

Save your days off for when you’re dying. But don’t worry, we’ll fire you when you’re sick enough first.

Advice for others reading this:

know the vacation policy.
do days carry over to next year?
what happens if you go over. (Sometimes one is fired, othertimes one only ~~looses a day of pay~~ don't get paid for that day.)

Edit: clarification

Damn that sucks. In the UK a full time employee gets a minimum of 28 days off a year, and you'll probably be encouraged to at least tell the company how you'll use them before the end of the financial year, depending on how the company does time off.

Don't rub it in. I know.

I want to leave so bad.
