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!
