How's That Underling Thing Working Out for You?: A Dilbert Book
Everyone’s favorite engineer navigates the problem-filled work world of pointless projects, questionable employment practices, and interoffice politics.
In How’s That Underling Thing Working Out for You?, Scott Adams takes on the challenges of Elbonian sensitivity training, employee satisfaction surveys, confusopoly consultants, and more.

From Dogbert’s invention of a beheading app to Dilbert’s PowerPoint presentation that proves two monkeys could lead better than current management, How’s That Underling Thing Working Out for You? chronicles corporate cubicle culture, questionable training seminars, and made-up consultancies one Dilbert strip at a time.
“Confined to their cubicles in a company run by idiot bosses, Dilbert and his white-collar colleagues make the dronelike world of Kafka seem congenial.” —The New York Times
“Once every decade, America is gifted with an angst-ridden anti-hero, a Nietzschean nebbish, an us-against-the-universe everyperson around whom our insecurities collect like iron shavings to a magnet. Charlie Chaplin. Dagwood Bumstead. Charlie Brown. Cathy. Now, Dilbert.” —The Miami Herald
