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!
@einich - Brilliant imagination. If a mash-up were to be created with the back of PHB's head at the right bottom of the third pane it would be voted even higher than the original one by Scott.
And boy, Scott must hate Powerpoint slides quite a lot. I don't mind them, unless I am the one preparing them!
I'm inclined to agree with LeaderOne on this. If you have two year olds running around the house, close the door. Even better, use email and don't make people listen to them screaming. If you've got a job dealing with customers, by all means you need to be where they are, but for a job such as software where you're just submitting your work when you're done there is no reason why home can't serve as a workplace better than a large building ever could.
And I have yet to see any study that says that office buildings give better productivity and job satisfaction than the home.
@LeaderOne: I'm the low man on the totem pole, but I like my boss. Aside from being good at the HUMAN part of HR (knowing when a "personal paid" day is deserved instead of using vacation), he's a good supervisor in general. He keeps abreast of the goings-on of the company as a whole so we don't have to. He helps interpret and enforce the company policies that MUST be in place for us to do business. And he makes a good scapegoat ("the boss told me (not) to...").
You said 80% of a supervisor's time with 20% of those under him/her. I'm in the other 80%, and I like knowing he has a portion of the other 20% available to me when I need it. And sometimes I do.
As for "the unsupported idea that an unmonitored worker is an inefficient worker" -- Monitoring provides (but, I will admit, is not required for) accountability. We live our lives under accountability: parents, teachers, police/gov't, God. Why should work be any different? Imagine if there was ZERO accountability in the world. Complete chaos and anarchy, I'm guessing.
