“Something's not quite right here, guys … you poke constant
fun at stupid corporate behavior—but never examine the underlying
reasons for that behavior … you have become the champions
of millions of insecure abd beleagured office workers—and
yet Scott Adams told Newsweek he supports corporate
downsiging!
“I'm begining to think you're providing a valuable service
for all those idiotic bosses you parody—by giving their
employees a safely value that's just edgy enough to ring true,
without inspiring anyone to actually question the fundamental
assumptions of corporate America … and which, of course, fits
nicely on a plethora of spin-off merchandise!”
“That reminds me … have you called our broker lately?”
“Yea—he says we're richer than Bill Gates.”
The Trouble

A very interesting (if long) look into Dilbert and the reasons why it's not only

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
