Dilbert - Dictionary Definition and Overview |
|
Dilbertn. Name and title character of a comic strip nationally
syndicated in the U.S. and enormously popular among hackers.Dilbert : is
an archetypical engineer-nerd who works at an anonymous high-technology
company; the strips present a lacerating satire of insane working
conditions and idiotic management practices all too readily recognized
by hackers. Adams, who spent nine years in cube 4S700R at Pacific Bell
(not DEC as often reported), often remarks that he has never been able
to come up with a fictional management blunder that his correspondents
didn't quickly either report to have actually happened or top with a
similar but even more bizarre incident. In 1996 Adams distilled his
insights into the collective psychology of businesses into an even
funnier book, "The Dilbert Principle" (HarperCollins, ISBN
0-887-30787-6). See also pointy-haired, rat dance.
