A magazine recently ran a "Dilbert Quotes" contest. They were looking
for
people to submit quotes from their real-life Dilbert-type managers.
These
were voted the top ten quotes in corporate America, circa 2004:

As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday, and employees will receive their cards in two weeks."
(This was the winning quote from Fred Dales, Microsoft Corp. in Redmond WA)

What I need is an exact list of specific unknown problems we
might encounter."
(Lykes Lines Shipping)

(Accounting manager, Electric Boat Company)

(Advertising/Marketing manager, United Parcel Service)

No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months. Now go act busy for a few weeks and I'll let you know when it's time to tell them."

Quote from the Boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I
say."
(Marketing executive, Citrix Corporation)

My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for Monday.
When I told my Boss, he said she died on purpose so that I would have
to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we
could change her burial to Friday. He said, "That would be better for
me."
(Shipping executive, FTD Floristst

We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not
going to discuss it with the employees."
