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.

You have no control over your work or work environment. You do not understand why things are done the way they are. There is no belonging to anything other than a paycheck and sad trombone pizza parties. You are not growing from your work to reach your potential, or aren't being actively developed or grown. Your uniqueness is not recognized, you are a serial number.
The great news is, we've added menial cost mental health EAP to gaslight you as if any human could succeed in the framework above.
There was this one guy who wrote whole books on this kind of stuff. He called this "alienation" and was trying to warn us about it all the way back in like the 1860s.
You talking about Durkheim and "anomie"? If so, yes the concepts since the beginning of industrialization haven't changed, unregulated capitalism has only exacerbated the core issues of humans not having evolved to work the way companies want to operate.
