Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-05 00:00:00 Clay Morganparks I lost my job recently. My boss called me to his cabin. Being head of the Technical Safety department, I was under the impression that my job was reasonably safe, recession or not. So it was a shock to me when the big guy told that I have been made redundant. "But... but... why?" I spluttered. "You're overhead. In the current scenario, company cannot tolerate a single superfluous penny." He said in a sad voice. "You are an old and trusted employee, and I am sorry about this." "But how can I be overhead? I am the HOD!" I said incredulously. "That may be true - but can you tell what project you are currently involved in?" The boss asked. "As Head of Department, in all of them." "But what do you do, exactly?" "Well..." I hesitated a moment. "I mentor the guys, advise them in case of knotty problems, decide upon departmental policy, interact with important clients..." "Ah! But how many deliverables do you produce?" The big guy asked shrewdly. I was stumped. "Well... none. But that is not expected of a Departmental Head, is it?" "Exactly!" The boss said. "Which shows that you are a non-producing asset." He pondered for a moment. "Come to think of it, all the Heads are..." ------------------------------ I knew that Dilbert was funny, but never knew that he was so true to life.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-23 00:00:00 Darryl Pease A fun read. A collection of many classic comic strip from Dilbert series. There are random short strips. If you like subtle satire and very short illustrations, its a good read. I was able to connect to almost everything as the characters are representations of real life people from your work life.
