Comic Strip Title: "Technical Certification"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic wit and frustration with corporate bureaucracy. In this particular strip, Dilbert is called into a meeting with his boss and another executive, where they express their disappointment that he has not obtained a technical certification.

Dilbert responds by pointing out that he has used his new power to secure a better job at a different company. He then asks why he was hired in the first place, implying that his lack of certification was not a significant concern at the time of his hiring.

The strip pokes fun at the often arbitrary and bureaucratic nature of corporate requirements, as well as the tendency of companies to prioritize certifications over actual skills and experience. It also highlights Dilbert's signature blend of humor and frustration with the corporate world.
