LaBuBu destroying LaTraffic

I made this for a livepainting session at a mall and I'm very proud.

Remote work is a godsend for disabled people. Speaking as a disabled person myself (I have a rare autoimmune disease), my remote job saved me. I started having a really bad flare a few months ago, and I straight-up would have been fired if I had to go into an office every day; I would have called out all the time. Instead I was able to take things easy and recover in a comfortable environment while still getting my work done.

The surge of remote work jobs during the pandemic led to a huge increase in disabled people in the workforce, but now companies- and the federal government- are forcing employees to come in again. Needless to say, disabled workers are the most affected by this.

It just fucking kills me because RTO policies are exclusively being mandated by power-tripping assholes in management or executive positions. There's no actual reason for them, as productivity is higher than ever and employees (both abled and disabled) overwhelmingly prefer remote or hybrid work. But you can't spy on people as effectively when they're not right under your nose so clearly employees just HAVE to come in!!!

It's Make a Terrible Comic Day. Go make a terrible comic.
