A cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads & Other Work[place Afflictions

Authors:
Scott Adams

Description:
What it says on the flysheet of the first edition:
Does your company practice the Dilbert Principle?

 - Is your CEO's office plastered with Mission Statements and 'change'initiatives?
 - Does your boss confuse his laptop with an Etch-A-Sketch?
 - Have bonuses been replaced with novelty items inscribed with the corporate logo?
 - Are idiots promoted because they have good hair?

In the world of TQM, re-engineering, and empowered secretaries, Dilbert has become the poster boy of corporate America. Millions of office dwellers tacl Scott Admas comic strip to their walls when murdering the boss is not an acceptable option.

After 17 tears of working in a cubicle and reading thousands of e-mail messages from readers who've been 'downsized,' 'rightsized,' 'flattened,' and put in charge of 'quality teams,' Scott Adams can no longer restrict himself to a single artistic medium. Now, in an unabashed attempt to cash in on the lucrative book market, Scott brings us The Dilbert Principle.

First lines (I felt it deserved two!)
These days it seems like any idit with a laptop computer can churn out a business book and make a few bucks. That's certainly what I am hoping.
