Dilbert Principle

This book is wacky, zany, and humorous. Sometimes impossible, it portrays the picture of the workplace in the future. Workers are non-traditional and sometimes with out-of-this-world attitude. The elderly will have a hard time to accept the would be scenarios. The conversations are not typical of our grandparents' days. A warning to educators and authorities. They have to rethink their policies and programs if they want to avoid a future society like this.


The Real Thing

What can I say? Scott Adams has been revealing the "Real-Life-In-The-Office" for a long time and with great success. I have been reading his daily comics (in Canada) religiously. This book covers --and uncovers--many harsh and unpleasant facts about the wild-and-crazy world of the office business wonderfully well.

Current financial crisis explained

This is one of the books that I reread from time to time to remind myself of its insights, because they are important. In fact, recent events have made this book more topical than I'd like. You can probably skip the articles by the usual financial pundits about why the US banking system has tanked. Scott Adams' model explains the incompetence that permeates so many corporations in simple and plausible terms. His conclusions appear quite applicable to what is currently going on.






I almost died laughing whilst reading this book

Absolutely hysterically tearfully gaspingly chokingly hilarious. But also a very accurate depiction of how the business world can be - now THAT is scary!

How to survive in corporate industry

When first Dilbert comics started to appear on newspapers I didn't understand them, they were probably only comics I didn't read. After I started to work in IT industry, Dilbert is the only comics I read.

And the book is even better, it's pretty hard to understand these comics without explanation from Scott Adams.

These comics feel so absurd, but even more absurd is how often you can find yourself in Dilbert-like situations in IT industry.

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 ?anagement.

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!
