The Boss says, ?Our CEO asked each manager to describe his group's
function on one slide.? The Boss says, ?I don't see how I can fit all
of our various functions on one powerpoint slide.? Dilbert says, ?You
could say, 'we spend all of our time trying to convince others that we
have value.'? The Boss says, ?That's not all we do.? Alice says,
?Sometimes we also argue about what we do.? The Boss says, ?That's
just what we're doing right now. Tomorrow we'll be doing something
totally useful.? Dilbert says, ?Maybe you could add a footnote to the
slide that says, 'we dream of someday being productive.'? Dilbert
says, ?Or you could exaggerate our accomplishments to create a
misleading sense of our potential.? The Boss says, ?Yes!? The Boss
says, ?What have we accomplished lately?? Wally says, ?We got paid for
planning to lie to our CEO.?
