On the upside, he inspired an interesting couple episodes of behind the bastards about himself

Fuck Scott Adams, fucking racist MAGA trash.

[-] cozy_agent@lemmy.world 90 points 2 years ago

Scott Adams is trash, and also this is so outdated. No top engineer wants to work at Google anymore, just middle management hell and a product you create will most likely be killed within 2 years.

Scott Adams doesn't know shit about how the office world works. He probably worked in an office in the 80s for a year and turned that into a whole thing

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

He started doing Dilbert full-time in 1995, so that's as far as his office experience would go.

[-] Remmock@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago

Adams has admitted that he hasn’t been in an office in such a long time that he doesn’t know what’s relevant anymore. In classic Dilbert fashion, the admission slipped as part of his defense that his comics were current and he had a finger on the pulse of the technology sector.

I mean... (ex-)Googlers still think they walk on water, so it's accurate as far as that goes. IMO, the stereotype was never true that they were all amazing and brilliant. Maybe it's just the subsector I spend most of my time with where they were less than stellar.

I know he's been canceled for being an alt-right magat, but that doesn't make this less funny to me.

The hooli roof is a real thing

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

It's over 10 years old, so that makes sense.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I mean, you're still going to be paid a sick package - to say that no top engineer wants to work for Google is just downright inaccurate.

Fuck Scott Adams

[-] Vega@feddit.it 32 points 2 years ago

I miss those comics. I know the author is a shitty human, but his strips were great

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago

Sad part was how real the situations felt.

Second panel: (spews various advertisements)

Third panel: "Unfortunately, he's already undergone enshittification." / "I've just sold all your personal information!"

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

At least he's actually bright

Does no one remember the pornographic speech bubble replacements for Dilbert from the 90s? Now those were hilarious.

It had stuff like pointy haired boss saying he drank coffee & ate asparagus to flavor his piss before Dilbert drinks it. Stuff like that.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
