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.

Every company you've ever worked for has enough work for a full time graphic designer? I've worked at some bigger companies that had someone for that role, but mostly no, the companies don't have people for small tasks that don't come up too often. That means people have to move out of their lane and do some additional work. That's a lot of what working at a smaller company is all about. You wear many hats and many of them you learn on the job. Engineers tend to be near the top of the food chain in terms of figuring stuff like that so they get those tasks sometimes.

This life in a small company. How has this never been something you've had to deal with?

Every company you’ve ever worked for has enough work for a full time graphic designer?

Not what I've said, at all.

I’ve worked at some bigger companies that had someone for that role, but mostly no, the companies don’t have people for small tasks that don’t come up too often.

Making graphics happens every day.

That means people have to move out of their lane and do some additional work. That’s a lot of what working at a smaller company is all about.

A mis-managed one, yes.

You wear many hats and many of them you learn on the job. Engineers tend to be near the top of the food chain in terms of figuring stuff like that so they get those tasks sometimes.

If they lack the self-respect to set boundaries, yes.

This life in a small company. How has this never been something you’ve had to deal with?

Because when asked to do something I didn't train to do, I say no. Saying yes leads to you gaining a second unpaid job.

Act your wage.
