DOGBERT CONSULTS NEVER INSULT YOUR COWORKERS DIRECTLY.

THE COMPANY WOULD FIRE YOU FOR THAT.

INSTEAD, SAY YOU HEARD A RUMOR BUT YOU CAN'T DIVULGE YOUR SOURCE.

THAT FEELS WRONG.

SOMEONE TOLD ME YOU'RE DATING YOUR PILLOW.

AI Analysis

Title: "Insulting Co-Workers"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in Dilbert, features a conversation between Dogbert and a man at a desk. Dogbert advises the man to never insult his co-workers directly, as the company would fire him for it. Instead, he suggests saying you heard a rumor but can't divulge your source. The man takes this advice and tells someone that he's dating their pillow, which makes them feel wrong. The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of office politics and the lengths people will go to avoid conflict or repercussions.
