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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

A supervisor introducing their people works, but giving people the chance to introduce themselves sends a signal from the outset that they're invited to speak at the meeting. Usually that's my preference, but it depends on the meeting.
A good example of when I think a supervisor should introduce everyone is a meeting where a team lead is presenting a plan to a director that doesn't know everyone - the team lead introduces their people, and does the majority of the speaking, but can turn to a technician or an area subject expert to field a specific question that comes up.
To me generally, my people are at a meeting because their input is valued. I want them to speak for themselves, and that begins with them introducing themselves. If you're there to observe I'll introduce you, otherwise I want them to know they're there to listen AND speak.
