Comics about work. Made with love and lots of coffee.

Work Chronicles

A workplace comic depicting the common scenario where team members avoid volunteering for tasks or projects, creating an awkward standoff situation that many professionals can relate to in their daily work environment.

(comic) Volunteer stand-off

This is actually a big issue with gender equality in the workplace, because the person saying “Fine. I’ll do it.” is 50% more likely to be a woman than a man.
“The group experiments also revealed that in mixed-gender groups, women were 50 percent more likely to volunteer for low status tasks. But when placed in all-female and all-male groups respectively, women were not more likely to volunteer for low-status tasks than the men were. The authors suggest that in all-female groups, individual women see their decision to volunteer as less critical, which in turn decreases their probability of volunteering. Put differently, the findings suggest that both men and women believed that greater female representation meant it was more likely that other women would agree to perform the disadvantageous task, thereby pardoning them of responsibility.” - <a href="https://www.gendereconomy.org/women-more-often-volunteer-for-tasks-that-hinder-their-promotability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://www.gendereconomy.org/women-more-often-volunteer-for-tasks-that-hinder-their-promotability/</a>

I like a challenge, but if it’s something like “please copy and paste 300,000 times” or “we need fix WP” I’ll pretend I’m furniture.

My team lead on every project 😂. Kind hearted dude.
