Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 08, 2020

I don’t want Pig as a boss.

Pig’s language today is shocking! Doesn’t he know that it’s rude to call someone “lazy”?

I was self-employed. The pay was lousy, and the boss was a b*tch, but I did get to set my own hours.

I just avoid the mirror.

I ran my own construction company for several years. I used to joke that the janitor and the CEO got paid exactly the same, and that my boss was the hardest one I’d EVER had. But I was young. Later I found that bosses can be ever so much… incredibly much… harder than I was. Because I, at least, never asked more than was possible, nor did I make insane decisions, lay off the most productive (and best paid) worker or demand that I keep the kitchen clean. (Hmm. Maybe I did do that last. It’s actually kind of hard to tell).

Much better to be a productive turd

Depends what kind of boss you want to be, Pig.

Pig sleeps with his boss. (Such an old joke, my bad.)

Don’t be such a ham, Pig!

Pig is an employee-er.

It’s really o.k., in the end Pig knuckles down!

LOL! It’s all part of the job, Pig! Do what you have to do!

sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do, Pig.

It’s the sexual harassment that bothers me.

The day you retire you become your own Boss ! … Croc Power !

I’ve missed out on the whole working from home thing, since most of my job requires that I actually be in the same building as the equipment that I’m minding. There are a number of us in that situation, and we don’t mind, most of the time. It’s nice not to spend all one’s time at home.

My boss, on the other hand, is able to do most of his administrative job from home, and actually comes in to work about once a week. The rest of us have been able to adjust.

And if you call someone a fool, you will be in danger of the fire of hell. Matthew 5:22

The best part of working at home is that I can work safely at the office because most of my colleagues are working from home. I’m actually thankful to them for that.

Nowadays, Pig can’t call anyone anything.

Whatever you do, Pig, that sh!t never gets done… :D

It’s reality PIG!

The image doesn’t match the original.

My boss goes with me everywhere I go, even the bathroom. Pervert.

I had a sign in my office that said: Warning! Does Not Play With Others.

For the most part that was true. I have always preferred to be my own boss or at least to work without someone hanging over my shoulder, stupidvising.

Life has taught me that the typical person who says, “I AM MY OWN BOSS!”, usually works for an idiot!

I like working from home, I finally like the people I work with.But you work by yourself.Exactly.

Self criticism can be difficult to deal with, that’s why most people never employ it.

I think he should report himself to Human Resources…

Well, you could be a Senior. We former cost-benefit minded engineers, now being inundated by Medical Insurance Corporations, find it impossible to compare them on the benefit side, for my serial killer medications.

Yeah, if you could just get those TPS reports done, that’d be great.

The struggle is real!

one pork chop’s battle against himself.

So, has the comic sensor guy been the victim of a layoff?

Boss Pig is mean to Worker Pig!

Who knew Pig has such a mouth?

I was gonna mention the Comic Censor, but Chris beat me to it, two posts up.

Good strip today.
