Does Dilbert make you more productive?

Question

My boss just sent me a Dilbert cartoon. It was a good one, so I saved it in my archive. While I was there, I noted there are 349 cartoons that I collected over the years.

The Daily Dilbert is one of the things I look forward to in the morning. Our group enjoys them, and we have discussions about the truths behind them. It is a morale booster. It helps keep things positive during the day. It is good to know that there are other companys with the same problems we have here.

How big is your Dilbert archive?

Is there another cartoon which helps puts you in a positive frame of mind?

Answer 1

It isn't. Reading web comics are the opposite of being productive.

Answer 2

XKCD is always my place of choice.

Answer 3

I wish I had a Dilbert archive, since it's near impossible to find the strips you want from their website. I had a yearly subscription to Dilbert, but they just stopped that service.

A little humour is always helpful for productivity.

Answer 4

It was 1996. I'm working on a government contract - the United States Department of Transportation. Good people there. Some of them - others, well, I can't believe their brains have any electricity in them at all.

I'm taking a needed vacation. Myself, the wife and our two daughters, ages 9 and 4. First full day of vacation, we're walking into a theme park and I'm relating some of the things that had happened to me just the day before at the office.

My then-9-year-old daughter pipes up "Gee, Daddy, you really DO work in a Dilbert place!"

So to answer the question, yes, it DOES make me more productive as it allows me to work safe in the knowledge that The Universe hasn't singled me out for "Trial By Exposure To Idiots".
