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.

I deal with stuff like this on a daily basis as I'm in a hybrid function in support / sys admin. We get this not from managers, but from our users. "Hei this is how we would like to work, can you please change the system?"
While I absolutely understand the reason for this, it's hard to do for 600 users. And our new boss also supports this approach because we need to be a good service provider for our internal customers. But always having to research if the requests even are implementable and what the implications of the implementation are is so fucking time consuming. I still have other shit to do.
What I want to say is, I feel like I shouldn't always have to be the one to directly receive (change) requests but they should already have been checked and approved.
I shouldn't have to do 1. & 2. or even 3. from your list. I should receive a clear work order and then look into the implementation.
But I guess that's wishful thinking.
