Quote of the Day: Office Edition

(Library of Congress)

Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who learned something about office culture while working in a cubicle for nearly two decades, onwho’s writing about business and the office:

Most business books are written by consultants and professors who haven’t spent much time in a cubicle.That’s like writing a first-hand account of the experience of the Donner party based on the fact that you’ve eaten beef jerky. Me, I’ve gnawed an ankle or two.
