About this product

Product Information

"I cried because I did not have an office with a door, until I met a man who had no cubicle." -- Dilbert A message from Scott Adams: I think the next wave of office design will focus on eliminating the only remaining obstacle to office productivity: your happiness. Happiness isn't a physical thing, like walls and doors. But it's closely related. Managers know that if they can eliminate all traces of happiness, the employees won't be so picky about their physical surroundings. Once you're hopelessly unhappy, you won't bother to complain if your boss rolls you up in a tight ball and crams you into a cardboard box. As soon as I noticed this disturbing threat to workplace happiness, I did some investigative work and discovered it wasn't confined to the issue of office design. Companies were making a direct frontal assault on employee happiness in every possible way I knew there was only one thing that could stop the horror. It was time for another Dilbert book. It might sound corny, but I felt an obligation to society. People told me it was time for me to "give something back to the community." This scared me, until I realized that no one knows I furnished my house with street signs and park benches. So I interpreted the "give something back to the community" message as a plea for me to write this book and then charge the community to read it. In the first part of this book I will tell you how to find happiness at the expense of your co-workers, managers, customers, and--best of all--those lazy stockholders. The second part of the book teaches you my top-secret methods for mining humor out of ordinary situations, thus making it easier to mock the people around you. The third part of the book is made entirely of invisible pages. If the book seems heavier than it looks, that's why. Office Prank #44: Sounds That Drive Co-workers Crazy You can produce sounds in the office that will drive your co-workers insane. That can be very entertaining. Every co-worker is different, so you might have to experiment to find the sounds that are most annoying to your cubicle neighbor. It's worth the effort.

    I read this book years ago and it's still great

    I read this book while working on my masters degree. It change the way I look at the workplace. I especially like the section worth he talks about two kinds of workers. One that spends all day putting out fires and works until 7 PM every day. The other is efficient and there are no fires. He is finished with his work by 2 PM and leaves sharply at 4 PM every day. Most every boss will find the guide that stays until 7 PM to be the better worker. In other words… It's better to look like you're working hard then to actually work hard.

    One Word - Outstanding

    Witty, insightful, and "Calling It How It Is", Scott Adams continues the saga of Dilbert, Dogbert, and the entire bunch. Another fine work from the man who pointed out that incompetent employees are intentionally promoted to prevent them from doing harm. "But Of Course There Are Obvious Exceptions"

    great seller! no problems!

    Great fun! I bought this copy for a friend because i wouldn't part with my copy. I felt that he must read it. He has a lot of insights in to the moderian work culture that i suspected but could not put into words. Very funny and sarcastic.

    Good humor, looks like being taken from my office.

    I purchase this to enhance my Scott Addams collection. Books that shows the every day situations in the Office, but can be applied to our daily work. Words, sentences, situations are the same. Even characters.
