How accurate and realistic is this comic, /g/?

>>59639373
I worked in a company that was completely Dilbertized. It's scary how real these comics are.

very, but my tie is flaccid :(

I was reading his book a few months ago and he kept bringing up being promoted until he hit something called the "diversity ceiling" in what would have been the mid to late 80s, before starting his comics. I'm sure there's diversity ceilings these days but in the 80s? Is he making shit up or can anyone confirm?

Strip does a great job making fun how technology has become politicized with SJWs and Indians.

The diversity and political correctness meme started in the early 80s and has ballooned out of control ever since.

It was also the time when "sexual harassment" lawsuits came into vogue.

Dilbert had some spot on satire.

I heard this one is quite spot-on.

Who actually programs in COBOL these days that doesn't look like they're close to dying?

>>59640029
Nobody.
Btw, those lucrative COBOL maintenance jobs are only given to people over 40 because ageism is a real thing and you're not going to be hired at 22 because you learned to write some cobol on the internet.

>>59640029
People willing to risk their sanity to make big bucks maintaining ancient systems.

>>59640029
That's the joke of the comic sweetie

>>59640095
>learn cobol on the internet
>live past 40
>put on dinosaur suit
>400k starting, any job I want

sounds like a plan.

>>59639476
I was visiting a doctor who looked about 65 and he explained that diversity quotas kept him from getting into a medical school in the early 80's. He went into the military and had his schooling paid for that way instead.

>>59640142
C or Ada is a better bet.

>>59640212
Why?

>>59640123
At this point your usage of the word sweetie is practically equivalent to using a trip, please stop.

Isn't one person exclusively, sweetie-posting is a thing now

Dude's a huge neckbeard

>>59641724
>>59641672
Just filter the word you retarded fucks, nobody has ever sweetie-posted anything of any value

>>59640142
>put on dinosaur suit
This alone is a good plan

it's more accurate than you will ever know

When I was a kid I always laughed at these and they still make me laugh even today. Easily one of the best comics.

I have literally never worked anywhere with cubicles. It's all open-plan offices nowadays, and has been for at least a decade.

Affirmative action started under LBJ, but it attained its more familiar modern form under Nixon.

Nixon's actually responsible for a lot of things we associated with Democrats.

>>59643215
Dilbert was way ahead of the times.

The show was pretty funny. Dilbert is good shit.

>>59643215
The entire Dilbert series was hillarious. It's bizarrely well written thanks to Larry David and Seinfeld voices someone also.

>yfw someone who makes crudely drawn business comics for a living became one of the few accurate political pundits

>>59639373
Very, but it's not that funny most of the time.
Sometimes the joke is really painful.

Go back to 9gag newfag

I began watching the TV series after seeing this thread (some youtube videos too) and it's pretty good.

>>59639373
The evil hr cat was funny and somewhat based on reality.

I have a daily calender of Dilbert, some pretty good ones.

>>59640178
how does he know that's the reason, and not that he wasn't as good as other candidates?

>>59640029

Oddly enough, I know I COBOL programmer. He's 35 I believe. Good money.

Med schools allow in black & hispanic doctors with much lower MCAT scores & GPAs than whites & asians. Frankly, it disturbs me that this is legal.

>>59646303
but how does he know that's what happened to him?

>>59645927
how will drudge ever recover

>>59646099
In dilbertman's case he says that he was directly told by his higher-up that he wanted to promote him but wasn't allowed to because he was a white male, it could be a similar situation

I know a guy who has a growth on his head that just like grows up 2 inches. It's not like a crown as soon in OP's pic, but he grew an afro and it kinds hides his weird giant skin nubs that grow upward. Like he could magic marker them black and you'd barely see it.

>>59640630
not the previous guy but C is used for both legacy code and memory efficient code. For example Tesla uses c for their cars so they can fit them with the cheapest but usable computers.
