#dilbert

New strips every Sunday. Reposts of strips from my first-term collection, TRUMPBERT: OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE (https://www.Trumpbert.com) most weekdays. Also by Freeman Ng: FASCIST SAID WHAT?, a free fill-in-the-blank style party game. https://www.FascistSaidWhat.com #dilbert #parody #trump #satire #comic #webcomic #lgbtq #iran #epsteinfiles #economy

Whenever I saw a disproportionate number of #Dilbert comics in one cubicle, I knew to avoid that person. They were clearly the asshole in the office, and they were usually on a hair trigger. I once saw a cubicle that was practically wallpapered with Dilbert comics, including several where he had labeled the characters with co-workers’ names, and then pinned them on the OUTSIDE of his cube. Yikes! Steer clear of that dude! 3/9

The #Dilbert gauge never failed me. The more Dilbert comic strips I saw, the nastier the place was. I worked at a one place where Dilbert was banned. Specifically, just Dilbert. Sounds extreme, but the bosses knew exactly what #ScottAdams was peddling, and they didn’t want any. That office ran smoothly and was among the nicest. 5/9

If virtually every cubicle had more than one #Dilbert comic pinned up, I knew everyone working there disliked each other. The atmosphere probably wasn’t going to be too terrible for me as a temp, but I wouldn’t want to work there permanently. 2/9

If there was even one #Dilbert comic pinned up to a communal bulletin board, watch out! The hatred went from workers up AND management down. God forbid someone had used the photocopier to enlarge it; that meant they wanted everyone to see how much they hated everyone. In this last situation, I would usually call my agency at the end of the day and ask if they had any other assignments. If I saw Dilbert plush toys, I’d just tell my agency I couldn’t continue the assignment. 4/9

My #ScottAdams Story In the 1990s, I worked as an office temp. I logged a lot of hours in a lot of different offices, and I had an instant and accurate way to sense how dysfunctional and toxic a workplace was as soon as I walked in. I took note of how many #Dilbert comics were pinned up, and where. If I saw one or two #Dilbert comics scattered around, I knew people had their gripes and complaints about their co-workers, but it was nothing too serious. 1/9
