by Scott Adams
Part of Dilbert, book 36
First published 2011
Best-selling cartoonist Scott Adams delivers another collection targeting underperforming and deceptive colleagues. Adams explores Elbonian slave labor, botched product recalls, and employee surveys that aren't really anonymous. The strips capture the familiar rage of wanting feral cats to devour your coworkers and the hollow victory of promotions that double your workload without increasing your pay. Dilbert invents a portable brain scanner with a popcorn microwave feature and moonlights as a corporate crime scene cleaner. Adams chronicles pointless projects, endless meetings, and absurd office policies through individual comic strips. The collection resonates because corporate cubicle culture mirrors the workplace dysfunction most readers experience daily, making Dilbert both relevant and hilarious.
