Covertekst
When body language goes bad marks the twenty-first collection of Scott Adams' popular comic strip, Dilbert, which is featured in more than two thousand news papers worldwide. This book updates loyal readers on the so-called careers of Dilbert, Alice, Wally, Asok the intern, and other regulars as they wallow through pointless projects, mismanaged company takeovers, futile team-building exercises, and other inane company initiatives, like the "name the rest room" contest.
In addition to the strip's familiar characters, this collection showcases Adams' masterful ability to create hilarious "guest stars." There's the network design engineer known as Psycho Hillbilly, who was going for the gentle biker look until he decided it was overdone. Then there's M.T. Suit, who is merely an empty suit walking the office halls spewing corporatese, such as "promising to enhance core competencies by leveraging platforms."
Adams says that about 80 percent of his initial ideas come from his 150 million-plus readers. Those worldwide readers are sure to celebrate humor found in When Body Language Goes Bad, his latest satirical look at the modern workplace.
