I’m feeling very called out right now.
Here’s hoping you have an incapacitating breakdown soon
You’ve got this! Fyi, there are rumors of layoffs, despite all your added hours recently, by the way.
I’m in the third year of my incapacitating breakdown. It’s not as nice as I imagined it to be.
As a small business owner (with no employees)! Help! I have the flu and need a day off but can’t stop or the business dies! Need an employee so I can take holidays or sick days, but hiring someone would require even more effort!
At least when I shit on company time, I feel like I’m sticking it to myself.
That’s a pretty good gig. You get to benefit from shitting on company time while knowing exactly how it impacts the company without any ability to improve it
New corporate policy. No solid foods.
Oh you still shit. It’s just unfathomably worse.
Fiber is your friend.
Small business owner with 5 part time employees.
Wait until you do payroll and think to yourself “do i really need a day off”?
Yeah I found myself really jealous of folks that were laidoff. One guy was like, I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next year but it includes planting some trees. I still think that sounds just awesome
What world do you live in where a layoff means you get a year to plant trees?
In the US we’d die by like week 3 of not having a job, and lose our homes and be criminally homeless by 6 weeks. In that order.
Haha. It’s a decent corporate job. Dude’s surely been saving up. He seems way more responsible than me, and I’ve definitely at least got like a 3 month emergency fund, but I do live with my mom now which helps. No idea what his situation is but I assumed he probably went to live w/ his parents or something
I have a
Hmmm.
It’s a “let’s not find out how long it lasts me” fund
Since I’ll never retire I think I’m going to start doing two years on, one year off.
Left my job with 74 PTO hours. The additional paycheck didn’t make up for never taking time off.
Fuuuuuuuck. Like… Fuck.
Like… Fuck.
Got me pegged.
Sure, but what does that have to do with this comic?
Panel 2 is true for me, but that just means I take any available time off if someone wants extra hours, and unused my sick time already by May.
Panel 3 looks like a dick on the thumbnail. Just saying…
…and?
Honestly, having a breakdown can be a positive thing. It’s awful in the moment, but any catalyst for positive change is pretty good.
My gym motivation is to have a heart attack to finally end the grind for shelter hell and have peace.

So yeah, I had a fucking breakdown this year including panic attacks and the feeling I’m fucking choking out of nowhere. Turns out I have anxiety disorder and depression. I’m nowhere near healed, but therapy helps a lot.
Don’t be like me. Actively think about your (mental) health and get help if you need it.
