This book is freedom for those who feel imprisoned in a cubicle. Called "the cartoon hero of the workplace" by the San Francisco Examiner, Dilbert is revered by technology and computer workers, engineers, white-collar types, scientists and everyone who works these days (in cubicles or not). This collection captures it all, from clueless management decrees to near revolts among the cubicly confined. Dilbert, the mainstay of office-life critical witticisms, is the concept of Scott Adams, who quit his job to write the column, using it primarily to exorcise the demons that haunted him (and, indeed, seem to haunt all in small-to-large corporate America) during his tenure as a mid-level office worker. Who can argue with this? This, perhaps in a brief statement, summarises much of the underlying philosophy of the corporate culture Adams presents in his Dilbert column. It certainly epitomises the prevailing attitude of the boss and management structure. And of course, being in charge of his own column, Adams has graduated (or, perhaps sunk) to the level of management. Dogbert's entry into and rising through the hierarchy is a good case in point, where LOUD equals results. After securing a corner office with a window by being LOUD, a task force ripe for empire-building within the company, the budgetary control of his boss, he is invited, at the end of his first week on the job, to meet with the president of the company. I really enjoyed "The Dilbert Principle." Everyone should own a copy. Unfortunately, anyone who owns that book might find themself retreading familiar territory here. Many strips overlap, albeit sometimes the storylines are extended further in this volume. If you're a completist, get it; the strips are all good. If not, stick with "The Dilbert Principle." Another hilarious Dilbert compilation. With both color and black and white strips, this book is a must have for any Dilbert enthusiast. Complete with Dogbert's always insightful tips on surviving the work place, and Dilberts quirky ways of getting out of doing any work for his inept manager. This book gives a very disturbing look into corporate America, with Dilbert, Alice, Wally, Dogbert, Ratbert, Pointy Haired Boss, Catbert, Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light, Bob the dinosaur, Dilberts girlfriend Liz, and many more, this book is still just as funny after two or three readings. I highly recomend this book. I was laughing so hard when I finished reading this book that my sides ached. I also wanted to cry because Scott Adams' observations on the absurdities of the '90s workplace are dead on, whether you are an engineer, a teacher, a social worker or a nurse. .I have friends in all these professions and more who are Dilbert fans. Thank you, Scott, for making work just a little bit easier and letting me know that I am not the only person who is surrounded by idiots on the job!! How can cubical dwellers vent with their office related frustrations? Dilbert. From's Wally's lazy and devious ways to the boss's incompetence to Dogbert's sarcasm, this classic book provides hillarious office antics. It can identify with employees' stress and give them a good laugh at the absurd corporate world. With more useless meetings, reorganizations, downsizing, performance reviews, and many other workplace woes, this is an exquisite book. When the cubicle police outlaw plastic plants for fear they will attract dumb bugs, Dilbert takes a stand. However, back in his cubicle, he sweats out his decision to harbour a pathetic plastic flower. 'I'm a rebel...I'm evil. My antiperspirant is breaking down!' he wails. Despite his best intentions, Dilbert just isn't cut out to live the life of a fugitive...From clueless management decrees to near revolts among the cubicly confined, this new collection of Scott Adams's brilliant cartoons captures it all -- a hilarious sideways look at the all-too-familiar ups and downs of life in and out of the office. Scott Adams used to work in a cubicle for communications giant Pacific Bell. He escaped ten years ago and lives in Northern California. His books The Dlbert Principle, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook, The Joy of Work and The Dilbert Future have sold three and a half million copies and have spent almost one hundred weeks on the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller lists. Are you a cubicle-dweller? Fed up with the often asinine practices of management and the useless buzzwords and fluff that seem to float around the office? Ever plotted a revolt at the fax machine? A revolution orchestrated over e-mail? Scott Adams' "Dilbert" character has, along with his army of counterparts, and for it he has been hailed as "the hero of the workplace." This collection of cartoons acutely collars the clueless practices of office superiors who all too often have ... Before his comic creation Dilbert rose to fame as the champion of disgruntled office drones everywhere, Scott Adams was a lowly cube-dweller himself, toiling away at a string of thankless, low-paying corporate jobs. With the success of a franchise that includes dozens of books, as well as calendars, video games, and associated Dilbert-themed merchandise, it’s safe to say Adams won’t have to go back to the office grind anytime soon. Back when he was a lowly office worker slaving under fluorescent lights and drinking bad coffee at an unsatisfying string of office jobs, Scott Adams would try to stave off some of the mind-numbing boredom he faced each day by doodling a little comic strip about a hapless office drone he called Dilbert.
