AI Analysis
Title: "The Full-Time Consultant"
Summary:
This 'Dilbert' comic strip, originally published in 1991, features a humorous exchange between a business consultant and a potential employer. The consultant is asked why they should be hired, and they respond with a clever and sarcastic answer, stating that they have credibility because they don't work for the company and no smart person would work full-time. The consultant then reveals that they work full-time, but only to speak slower, implying that their true value lies in their ability to communicate effectively, albeit at a slower pace.
The comic strip pokes fun at the common perception that consultants are only hired for their expertise, rather than their ability to work full-time. It also highlights the importance of effective communication in business, even if it means speaking at a slower pace. Overall, the strip is a lighthearted commentary on the world of business and consulting.
