Beware the comic strip in your office
My good friend Jay Hargis at HR Cleanup posted this the other day and I wanted to pass it along. It would be funny if it wasn’t so ridiculous. That said, there’s a lesson in there…somewhere.
Can posting a comic in your cube get your fired? It can if it pisses makes your boss angry. It today’s world, a workplace misstep can have serious consequences. Is this case a worker at the Catfish Bend Casino posted a Dilbert comic that made fun of bosses. In the strip, Dilbert poses the question “Why does it seem s if most of the decisions at my company are made by drunker Lemurs?”David Stuart’s boss didn’t like being compared to a drunken Lemur. So he canned him
.
I’m sure that Mr. Stuart had no idea his boss would take such offense to the comic strip…after all, if you can’t make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of? It seems to me that the Catfish Bend Casino takes itself a bit too seriously…
BTW, Scott Adams is supporting Mr. Stuart. Poor Wally got the sack–I hope nothing happens to the flux capacitor!
Until next time…
