The creator of Dilbert, the fastest-growing comic strip in the nation, takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy.These hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, rampant 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 work place.

Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this light-hearted series of essays. Adams explores the zeitgeist of ever-changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three-hour meetings, the confusion of the information super highway, and more.

With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes, and skewers, the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. The Dilbert Principle rings so true! Listeners will be convinced that he has been spying on their bosses.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Scott Adams

Nasceu em 1957 em Nova Iorque. Estudou Economia e durante 8 anos trabalhou no Crocker National Bank. Na Universidade de Berkeley, obtém um MBA e trabalha 9 anos como engenheiro na companhia "Pacific Bell", mas as suas relações com as hierarquias não são as melhores. É no ano de 1988 que Scott Adams apresenta a diversas empresas tiras com desenhos de Dilbert e Dogbert. Os seus personagens foram inspirados em colegas de trabalho, o que resulta numa crítica mordaz à maneira de trabalhar nas grandes empresas. De início, o seu trabalho foi recusado por quase todas as editoras. Porém, a United Media ofereceu-lhe um contrato que aceitou de imediato. E aos 45 anos de idade torna-se milionário, graças ao "bonequinho sem boca" que a revista People incluiu na sua lista das 25 personalidades mais interessantes do país, ao lado da popstar Madonna. O seu trabalho já lhe valeu vários prémios, entre eles, o Newspaper Comic Strip Award, em 1997.
