How's That Underling Thing Working Out for You? (Dilbert)

by ScottAdams (Author)

Synopsis

AMP's Dilbert calendars are the best-selling calendars in the world, with sales over 400,000 every year. Pointless projects, endless meetings, and random downsizing make up the Dilbert world. For more than 20 years, Scott Adams's "Dilbert" has chronicled the problem-filled work world of pointless projects, questionable employment practices, and interoffice politics that eerily resemble our own 9-to-5 cubicle existence. In "How's That Underling Thing Working Out for You?," Adams takes on the challenges of Elbonian sensitivity training, employee satisfaction surveys, confusopoly consultants, and more inside this new "Dilbert" book. If you agree that every indeterminable project has to have at least one WDG (Worthless Dumb Guy), or are subjected to results-free sensitivity training, questionable employee surveys, and freelance consultants that seem to offer little more than exorbitant invoices, then chances are you find the corporate cubicle culture philosophy represented inside "How's That Underling Thing Working Out for You?" alive and well inside your own work environment--and that's exactly what makes "Dilbert" one of the most successful and popular comic strips of all time. From Dogbert's invention of a beheading app to Dilbert's PowerPoint presentation that proves two monkeys could lead better than current management, "How's That Underling Thing Working Out for You?" chronicles corporate cubicle culture questionable training seminars and employee satisfaction surveys, along with made-up consultancies one "Dilbert" strip at a time.
