Default Anybody else feel like they've been manifested through Dilbert cartoons while at work

What on earth would I do without Dilbert cartoons?? They are so hilarious even though I completely work in that type of 'your boss is a dictator, and you are the smart/underpaid genius'... I have the Dilbert desk calendar sitting right on my desk and it makes me laugh everyday (well monday through friday b/c I dont bring it home on the weekends).

Dilbert rocks!!!

I have the manual for a good employee and I also have the calendar of "The 365 stupidest Things ever said" on my desk.

Dilbert relevance has actually changed a little bit... I thought it was much funnier when it first came out, but corporate has changed so much since then. Of course some of the basic stuff still has some scarry relevance

Depends on where you work but he nails it on the basics. You know the best part -- I can post my favorites that make fun of my boss and he'll laugh at 'em.

Scott Adams, the guy who writes Dilbert cartoons... the last company he worked for is the same company I work at now. lemme tell ya, his cartoons are rooted in truth. you couldn't imagine some of the ridiculous micro-management b.s. I've encountered. (I'm in a different department than what he was in though. some of the horror stories I've heard from the other departments would just shock you, they are so ridiculously managed my the glottis.)

I have one on my fridge that says:

"Our dress code policy will go back to business attire... and I will keep changing the dress code until I find the clothing style that makes our profits go up!"

I swear I've heard a variation of that on our floor.
