The Dilbert Lack of Appreciation Thread

Would I be amused with these if I worked in a cubicle farm?
Does anyone derive joy from these things? Are there legions of middle managers out there who rush to the newsstand each morning to see what business cliche gets skewered today?

Hi-laaaaaarious... somebody has to take the blame for this new software! But nobody will! Of course, it's so funny because it's so so true! 

Brilliance!

I see those cartoons taped or tacked to office walls every time I visit them.

It's so true111! A catch 22!

In which case, I would just ask for a raise, then call it even.

Yes. Outside of that hellish environment, Dilbert looks pretty stupid. When you're sitting there listening to your retarded boss or co-workers day after day, some of those strips really hit home.

It's more like it's funny because it's so absurd, yet so true. Some of the situations are so cliche and so obvious, but they happen a lot when you work in an office.

If I ever get to the point where I have sympathy for the hacks who make those pathetic comics, I'll know it is my day to die.

The shitty part is that you WILL be penalized for not being persuasive as an engineer.
Part of the job is convincing other people you've got it right.

No offence, but I have never liked Dilbert. My favorite is still Garfield the cat.

You are correct. In fact all newspaper comics are fucking crap except for Calvin and Hobbes and the occasional Foxtrot.

I dunno, I'm not a big fan of dilbert but there's a few good ones. It's better than 9 chickweed lane or for better or for worse.
