> Re "managers": I saw Dilbert's cartoon yesterday in the Terrograph.


I've been reading the "daily Dilbert" since I can remember (I'm using
WWW since 1993, don't know when www.dilbert.com became available,
certainly more than 15 years ago). It's actually one of the pages in my
"start session" in my WWW browser. I've also downloaded the entire
archive that's available online.

But Dilbert is in fact a very euphemistic, embellishing cartoon.
Reality is much worse. Because, in the Dilbert comics, the managers
always get exactly that kind of corrective feedback that they would
need (one of my favourites: Alice threw the pointy-haired boss down the
aisle between the cubicles), but that they *never* get in the real
world, although it would at least somewhat reduce their psychotic
self-adoration.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
