The creator of Dilbert, the fastest-growing comic strip in the nation (syndicated in nearly 1000 newspapers), takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy. Lavishly illustrated with Dilbert strips, these hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, management fads, bewildering technological changes and so much more, will make anyone who has ever worked in an office laugh out loud in recognition. The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage -- management.

Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace.

Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this lighthearted series of essays. Packed with more than 100 hilarious cartoons, these 25 chapters explore the zeitgeist of ever-changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three-hour meetings, the confusion of the information superhighway and more. With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes -- and skewers -- the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. Readers will be convinced that he must be spying on their bosses, The Dilbert Principle rings so true!

Crit Epithetical Books The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads & Other Workplace Afflictions (Dilbert: Business #1)

Whenever I read the comics I make sure that I read Dilbert. It is the funniest and most observant comic strip published today. Dilbert's creator and author of this book is clearly a smart guy. His many years in the business sector has lent him a particular acumen for pointing out ridiculous things that happen in office settings. He continues that trend of witty humor in "The Dilbert Principle". I enjoyed reading this book. It's thesis is that "We are all idiots" which is true. At one point or

I really enjoyed this book. It is non-fiction, although Scott Adams uses some of his comic strips to make a point.He points out all the pointless, timewasting bureaucratic hassles that affects most large businesses--and many small ones.For those who have ever worked in any office, the problems Adams focusses on are all too familiar.Ever had a big company "slogan"? It's like a high school pep rally. You see the slogan in e-mails, on wall posters, they pass out T-shirts or mugs with the new slogan

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who believe that the world of business is rational and those who have experience of it.Or as Scott Adams puts it in the first chapter of this loose collection of comic strips and emails from people about their jobs "No matter how absurd I try to make the comic strip I can't stay ahead of what people are experiencing in their own workplaces." The downside of this book is that the emails would be funnier if they weren't true.

If you've worked for a company, for any period of time, chances are you'll be able to identify a lot of these funny situations and people. Because we have all worked for a crazy boss one, we've all been in a cubicle at least once, and we've all seen Quality Teams at least once in companies. I know I have, and boy, are they the same as in Dilbert.I mean, thank goodness, I've never had everything happening all at once. Is either just one or two that stand out more than others.

The Dilbert Principle: A Q & A This is not really a review. It is more of a collection of notes I made from the book while I got some respite from laughing my head off or scratching my head at the thought that some of this sarcasm is slung at me too.To those of you who are unfortunate enough to be 'bosses', I would suggest that you give this book a miss: You might end up in chronic depression.To get into the nuances of the book, here is a Q&A with my notes from the book and a few
