Editorial : Scott Adams's latest work is not a collection of Dilbert cartoons (though recycled strips are liberally sprinkled throughout); it's a dialogue between the man and his fans disguised as a tongue-in-cheek guide to surviving the corporate life. There are chapters on "Office Pranks," "Surviving Meetings," and "Managing Your Co-Workers," with enough weird stories and practical jokes to make any middle manager nervous, especially as many of the tricks and tips come from e-mails sent to Adams by his fans (one tip: never let anyone else use your computer). If these messages are any indication, the creative tide has turned, and now the corporate world is following Dilbert's lead. In the office blocks of America, life is imitating art imitating life, creating a pleasantly postmodern working environment. The final chapter of The Joy of Work, "Handling Criticism," includes a response to Norman Solomon's The Trouble with Dilbert, which accuses Adams of selling out and su
‘I cried because I did not have an office with a door, until I met a man who had no cubicle.’ DilbertA 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
I own a number of Eric Maisel's books and I've found in each unique gifts that have helped me in my journey as a writer. Wearstler finds clients who buy off on her design schemes, as they seem designed for show, not living. I wish all books were like this so I wouldn't have to strain my eyes.. The book is printed on mat white paper in black and white. There is a slight problem of audience however. German is a difficult language. At first, I had difficulty understanding one speaker in particular. They did the best they could or knew how to do.
If your family is unhappy in the least, these two books may change the way that you help lead them through the bad times. There’s more technical information here than in most exercise books. This is a fascinating book. A MUST! for every single person in US and Europe, First World.. Which is a shame because with a few simple changes and a different (cheaper) publisher this could have been a successful and popular book. Perfect gift
