While the author might have personality problems, I do like the comic. It highlights the ignorance of corporate culture where it seems ignorance is prized and rewarded...

agreed.

A buddy of mine is a software developer in a megacorp, and it's funny1 that ever week he can name an event of that week that could come straight out of a dilbert cartoon.

Oh, and
WALLY ROCKS!

I was a software developer in a small corporation, and even there I could name one thing each week that could've come straight out of a Dilbert cartoon.

But the company was run by two incompetents so that might explain.

He isn't that smart if he admitted he was the one behind the mask. /facepalm




He kinda had to.  After some speculation the site confirmed his identity.  So it was either admit it and look like an ass or deny it and look like an even dumber ass.  I'd say he's not that smart for doing it in the first place.

My wife is a programmer.  She told me once that you can tell how much trouble a company or department is in by how many Dilbert cartoons are posted on the cubicle walls.  At her last job, there were a lot of those.  I saw them.

What's sad is that the problems have been identified and yet they continue...

You can literally tell these managers "this is coming right out of a Dilbert comic" and they'll still say "yes, but we'll do it right"

Over and over and over again. And they'll always fail. They never learn.

You're either in Sheen's corner or you're with the trolls.

Speaking as a third generation office worker, I usually find it pretty funny. My brother is also a programmer, as is my wife's best friend. We hear plenty of stories from both. I don't currently work in an office, but I have to deal with people who do. It's the same wherever you go. We are ordered about by morons because we (apparently) are stupid enough to do what they say.
