Part of Dilbert, book 41
First published 2013
Scott Adams presents another collection of Dilbert strips focused on workplace management at its worst. The Boss continues his reign of corporate terror over Dilbert, Wally, Alice, and his long-suffering secretary. Adams showcases how this clueless manager lacks any real mentoring abilities while subjecting his team to pointless budget exercises and soul-crushing meetings that stretch on without purpose. The strips capture the daily workplace torture that unfolds within cubicle walls, where employees must navigate their supervisor's complete disconnect from reality. Adams draws from the universal experience of bad bosses to create scenarios that office workers worldwide recognize. The book demonstrates why Dilbert has become the most shared comic strip across offices globally, appearing in newspapers across 65 countries in 25 languages since 1989. This collection offers readers a chance to laugh at the absurdity of corporate life while finding comfort in knowing they are not alone in their workplace struggles.
