Comic Strip Title: "Social Media Policy"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a cartoon character, in a workplace setting. The scene unfolds as follows:

• Beth, the new marketing manager, announces the company's social media policy, which prohibits the use of Facebook and Twitter at work.
• Dilbert, a skeptic, questions the policy, suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect employees to work from home and use personal social media accounts.

• The strip also touches on the topic of online reputation and the potential consequences of posting content that may be perceived as negative or unprofessional.
