Title: "Ninny Employees Deserve More Stock Options"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip humorously portrays a company's attempt to address its lack of a consistent strategy. The scene unfolds with an employee survey revealing that 95% of the company believes they have no strategy. In response, executives form a "quality team" to determine the root cause of the problem.

However, the team's solution is to narrow down the issue to either "employees are ninny" or "we deserve more stock options." This absurd conclusion highlights the company's flawed approach to problem-solving and its prioritization of self-interest over genuine improvement. The comic strip satirizes the corporate culture and decision-making processes, poking fun at the notion that employees are to blame for a lack of strategy or that stock options are the solution to all problems.
