Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
Yes, this happens in most companies, especially in big ones (500 people) where there's plenty of 'hot air blowing at the top level' (read people who do nothing besides speaking :)).
Also, it has been observed that once the first one or two approve an action, the rest just blindly approve it as a formality. That's what they are paid for actually.
And where the heck do these guys learn phrases like 'consensus building', 'lack of buy-in' and 'flailing around in futility'? Management school?
I like to sit and do nothing while pretending to flail around in futility. It's pretty easy to fake a flail; just act stressed out on the phone and give vague, irritated answers to questions, and people will leave you alone.
