You must be the guy who draws the "Dilbert" comic strip.


No but ask any engineer....Dilbert is fact, not fiction.


No, 'Dilbert' is farce, very loosely based on a figment of reality...

That there are recognizable traits and actions is only indicative of
the state of human fraility and foibles in any field of
endeavor...while we engineers can certainly recognize events and even
individuals who may seem to match, to attribute the actions as directly
motivated as are is a deliberate act of characterization and
exaggeration. Not that there aren't plenty of mistakes made and sorry
management practices, but the difference is as noted in another
response, for the most part they're a result of the "law of unforeseen
consequences" and well-meaning decisions individually that
collectively, don't provide the desired results.
