THE POWER OF "DILBERT," THE EDITORIAL CARTOON!

REFERENCE:

I don't know if you have noticed but "Dilbert" on Sunday (May 17, 2009) took off on Dr. Fisher's theme of work being mainly non-doing doing of non-thing things (see SIX SILENT KILLERS), and Monday and Tuesday echoing similar sentiments of his on MBAs (see WORK WITHOUT MANAGERS and articles on this blog).

Dilbert appears on the business page of The Tampa Tribune, and, of course, newspapers across the land.

It took the sentiment twenty years to get attention, but who's counting? Since everyone reads Dilbert, maybe it will register finally that much of work is busy work, especially now with computers, and MBAs are a vocational degree that has seeded the economic meltdown.
