Summary:

The comic strip depicts a planned power outage at the office, which has been scheduled for the next day. The CEO, however, is determined to hold office hours despite the outage, and instructs the employees to come to work as usual. Dilbert, the protagonist, is skeptical of the CEO's decision and expresses his concerns about the safety and practicality of holding office hours during a power outage.
