Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook

The creator of Dilbert, the rapidly growing comic strip in America, offers a sharp compilation of cartoons that highlight the absurdities of corporate management. Syndicated in over 900 newspapers and read by more than 60 million people, Dilbert has become a cultural phenomenon, with the San Francisco Chronicle calling it "the cartoon hero of the workplace." Now a popular online presence, it has sold over a million copies of its cartoon books. In this latest collection, Dogbert, Dilbert's cunning canine sidekick, presents a satirical management manual designed to help bosses undermine their employees. New managers often err by rewarding good work with fair pay, communicating effectively, and enhancing departmental efficiency. Dogbert warns that such actions can lead to disastrous outcomes: employees might start expecting fair treatment, productive workers could overshadow their managers, and future budgets might be slashed due to reduced spending needs. Drawing from years of experience in tormenting Dilbert and advising his boss, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook combines insightful essays with hundreds of comic strips, illustrating the plight of the employee in the workplace. This collection is an ideal gift for bosses and office workers alike.
