This is a post by Skellie.
1) Leaving for Google
Every geek's dream job. XKCD by Randall Munroe.
2) Passive Aggressive Notes
Passive aggressive emails are slightly more in vogue, but sometimes nothing gets the message across like a good ol' note.
3) Productivity
And it's true–a Microsoft study revealed a dual-screen display can increase productivity by 9 to 50%.
4) Clocking-off
5) Selling-out
If this is you, it may explain why you haven't left yet.
6) Corporate Problem-solving
7) Solitaire
Comic by Abigail Spankie.
Before the internet, there was Solitaire.
8) Meetings
9) The Joy of E-mail
10 & 11) Bad Powerpoint
12) Getting a Raise

20) Job? F%@# it!
The revolution, office-worker style.
There are seven extra panels besides these, where all the rebellious workers form a hippie commune/nudist colony. Those are probably NSFW due to nudity/sexuality, but can be viewed here. Comic strip by Packard Jennings.

Amazing! Really clever stuff, thanks for putting this together.
Dilbert continues to reign supreme in my book. At Microsoft A LOT of people believed that Scott Adams worked there under a different name. #8 & #12 are too true to be funny. RE #3, as funny as it is, a lot of companies that employ engineers these days have 2 screens, I know amazon and google do a lot. I personally LOVE my 2 24in screens, and I am more productive. 🙂

Fantastic! “What ill-conceived short-term solution should I employ?” … I’ve worked for that guy…
