About this product

Product Information

The creator of Dilbert , the fastest-growing comic strip in the nation (syndicated in nearly 1000 newspapers), takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy. Lavishly illustrated with Dilbert strips, these hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, management fads, bewildering technological changes and so much more, will make anyone who has ever worked in an office laugh out loud in recognition. The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage -- management. Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert , his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace. Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this lighthearted series of essays. Packed with more than 100 hilarious cartoons, these 25 chapters explore the zeitgeist of ever-changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three-hour meetings, the confusion of the information superhighway and more. With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes -- and skewers -- the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. Readers will be convinced that he must be spying on their bosses, The Dilbert Principle rings so true

Sarcastic (yet informative) view of Office Politics
"The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage - management." That's the Dilbert Principle. Scott Adams states this up front, then spends over 300 fun-filled pages backing it up. No, it's not all about management and inane company policies. A good portion of the book covers warped coworkers. It reads like an actual how-to guide, written by a sarcastic humor writer with a bad attitude. And it is liberally seeded with copies of some of your favorite Dilbert cartoon strips. If you don't like sarcasm, you'll hate this book. But, if you can appreciate tongue-in-cheek references (as well as a few solid backhanded slaps), you'll laugh out loud. Note that Adams uses exaggeration to emphasize his points. In one section, after he points out ... "The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage - management." That's the Dilbert Principle.

But, if you can appreciate tongue-in-cheek references (as well as a few solid backhanded slaps), you'll laugh out loud. Note that Adams uses exaggeration to emphasize his points. In one section, after he points out that it is the clothing (note the employee) that gets promoted, he reminds us to be in the clothes when the promotion happens. "One man made the mistake of bringing his dry cleaning to work and ended up as a direct report to his own sports jacket." In reality, this rarely happens; the sports jacket would most likely have advanced to a different department. :-) Okay, so reading this can affect your own perception of reality. Strangely, it is also informative. Seriously. Between the laughs, you can see the truth in the accusations. For example, he has a section on manipulation. As I read it, I recognized the strategy of several past coworkers (and at least one former boss). If you don't recognize your current boss within these pages, then you're lucky. If you don't recognize a former boss or at least one of your coworkers, then you're new, either to the workforce or this planet. I rated this a 4 instead of a 5 because there are times where he crosses too far over the line into tastelessness. Not bad enough to toss the book, but enough to drop it back a notch. I would suggest this book (with the stated warnings about sarcasm and occasional tackiness). Read it and enjoy it, but don't take it too seriously. Since we are all likely to run into these office politics in some form or another, laughing (rather than crying) at them can help you endure.

Exactly what you'd expect from the creator of Dilbert
This book is incredibly humorous, with many of the famous Dilbert comic strips scattered about. It reminds us just how crazy the world can actually be. Bringing real life personal examples, from himself and his fan mail(allegedly true, but some sound far fetched), he presents his case and proves his theory, we are all idiots. The comics themselves, though as preposterous as they sound, is easily to relate to, whether we see it in somebody else or ourselves. This is definitely a book worth buying at full price.This book is incredibly humorous, with many of the famous Dilbert comic strips scattered about.

The twisted world we're living in
I started reading this book after accident running into it on the web. It's amazing how sometimes reality beats fiction :) or my case imitates it. And it's really sad (and funny as you read that book) to see in what a twisted world we living in (or working in). I think the book is really funny and sad because I keep detecting characters that are similar to that in Dilbert's book.
