Yes, but then I work in IT, so I have first hand knowledge of how some of the things 'pointy head', marketing and clients do in the Comics are so stupid, yet you'll see that kind of talk/action by the real life versions and laugh on multiple levels.

No but I'm not an office worker but I still don't really see where any of it would be funny. I liked the guy that always shouts in the cartoon though.
But it is a comic and I'm not a big comic fan either, and if you find 2 or 3 boring strips or panels it can turn you off that comic strip.
That reminds me of a bit from Family Guy where they spoof Dilbert
Peter: the business world can sure be funny
*flashes to a scene with dilbert and that bald guy*
Baldy: hey dilbert what do you call it when a guy in middle management makes it all the way to upper management?
Dilbert: I don't know
Baldy: a promotion
Dilbert: oh. Here's a memo
*flash back to peter*
Peter: well sometimes the business world can be funny

Thing is, you wouldn't find it funny unless you had to put up with "office politics" every day (which isn;'t funny at all in real life, just pure agony)
It's like if tradie's were smart enough to make ujp jokes, and they made up jokes about being tradies, I wouldn't get it either (actually I probably would cause I'm smart, but they would never be smart enough to make a joke up anyway - cause they're tradies)

Very funny indeed. Dogbert's Management Handbook is one of the funniest reads of all time for people who manage others. If you have been fortunate(?) enough to be involved in managerial training (i.e. coaching skills, performance management, etc) there is some absolute GOLD!
That's a classic. After reading that, everytime I hear my boss use words like pro-active I have to control the urge to laugh.

This is classic Dilbert. Only really funny for people in an office who nod and smile knowingly.
I often have them stuck up around my desk at work. Here's a tip for young punters though - don't change the names of the characters to match people in your office, no matter how eerily similar the situation...

I posted some of the 'surveys' on the board in the office one day. I think the book's still hiding in my desk somewhere - might have to break it out again.
