Comic Strip Summary

The comic strip, originally published in 1999, features Dilbert and his coworkers discussing a merger between two companies. The key points are:

• The company will be destroying another healthy company through the merger process.
• No engineers will be downsized after the merger.
• Tech writers are asked to write a memo about the merger, despite the fact that no engineers will be downsized.

The comic strip highlights the absurdity of corporate language and the tendency for companies to use jargon to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
