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.

Haha. This hits home. I just got an urgent issue for a customer I can't solve and the only people who can are on holiday, so I'll be looking for the answer from now (afternoon) till long after 2am this night, and I won't be paid for that time either.
But "making it someone else's problem" is... heavily discouraged, shall we say, and since I don't immediately fancy homelessness...
I don't know your situation, but my rule of thumb after having burned myself out is that if I'm not being paid for the time I'm not taking that time.
I wholeheartedly agree but I can't dodge this since I'm literally the only person available for the rest of this week...
Then tell whoever pays you to do so or figure it out themselves. That's kind of the whole deal with hiring people to do work for you. Unless you're salaried.
You’re enabling your boss’ bad behavior. At some point it stops being their fault.
