Dilbert Gives You the Business

by Scott Adams

Part of Dilbert, book 14

First published 1999

Scott Adams presents a curated collection of workplace humor in this compilation of fan-favorite Dilbert comic strips. This fourteenth Dilbert book gathers the most popular strips that readers have repeatedly requested for reprints and downloads from the official website. Adams organizes the material by workplace topics, creating a reference guide that covers everything from delegation and decision-making to trade shows and telecommuting. The familiar cast returns with their signature behaviors: Dilbert updates his resume while navigating corporate absurdity, Dogbert pursues his schemes for world domination, Wally perfects the art of minimal effort, and Alice battles endless frustration with their incompetent Boss. Adams draws from his own corporate background and the hundreds of emails he receives daily from office workers to create strips that balance outrageous scenarios with recognizable workplace truths. The book serves as both entertainment and stress relief for anyone trapped in corporate culture.
