The #Dilbert gauge never failed me. The more Dilbert comic strips I saw, the nastier the place was.
I worked at a one place where Dilbert was banned. Specifically, just Dilbert. Sounds extreme, but the bosses knew exactly what #ScottAdams was peddling, and they didn’t want any.
That office ran smoothly and was among the nicest.

My #ScottAdams Story
In the 1990s, I worked as an office temp. I logged a lot of hours in a lot of different offices, and I had an instant and accurate way to sense how dysfunctional and toxic a workplace was as soon as I walked in.
I took note of how many #Dilbert comics were pinned up, and where.
If I saw one or two #Dilbert comics scattered around, I knew people had their gripes and complaints about their co-workers, but it was nothing too serious.
