Where I work, they’re about two years behind Dilbert.
Now, pardon me while I go assess myself.
Wow, was Scott Adams lazy in picking those 10.
I also put the ‘etch-a-sketch’ one near the top.
And I love this one.
And this one, even though its needs updating.
Agreed that that list was horrible. It’s like he wrote it with a half hour and one folder’s worth of strips.
Adams does take emailed true stories of management dumbassery so that he can get ideas for his strip. I believe he took one from me back in the late 90’s, because about two or three weeks after I emailed it along, he had a strip using that same scenario. I have no proof that my email was the source, but it sure seemed like it.
Maybe someone at your work emailed Adams and he used the idea.
I agree that Adams’s list was a half-assed effort.
Still, I don’t entirely blame him. You could look through any year’s worth of strips and find two dozen that you’d be hard-pressed to narrow down to ten. And to do it over the life of the strip? Practically unthinkable.
That said, as much as I love the “business” strips, my favorite strips come from the early days, where the work environment was a minor part, and pretty much anything wacky could happen. Two representatives of that era which never fail to make me smile:
Playing Scrabble with Dogbert
Bob the Dinosaur wants to be a babysitter
This one about fingernail computers came to mind
My favorite…mainly for the last panel. I have it taped inside a desk drawer so it won’t draw any attention.
I have the last panel of this strip up in my office.
Do you think this article is a meta-joke? The commentary is dry, colorless and unfunny. Sort of like you’d think a Business Insider would be like. And the cartoons, the driest most robotic like jokes recently.
Because I am a bitter old man, I am going to shoot down your sweet, no doubt cherished, conjecture.
Syndicates require cartoonists to be 6 weeks ahead of date.
This doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would. 
you are correct, those are excellent!
In my industry, these two hit way too close to home:
Being a farmer myself, and also having worked in a few totally disfunctional offices, the all-too-brief “cube farmer” episodesare my favorites. Especially the last one. Ohhh…if only I could’ve been standing by with my hoe when the boss turned his back…
This is one of my favorites. And possibly the creepiest one I’ve ever seen, too.
But the humor didn’t hit me until shortly after I’d seen it, when I first saw the new (at that time) corporate logo for Lucent Technologies. Holy shit! Was Adams taking a shot at their (awful!) logo? I think so…and it was well earned!
Love this one
For some reason, this one makes me laugh out loud every time:
Another favourite of mine: There was also a series of strips where the employees made the PHB think he was controlling the airplane he was on with his laptop. Can’t find it right now though…
Not that I don’t love the corporate stupidity, but this one is my favorite.
Not sure about a series, but there was this one.
