Comic Strip Title: "The Best Manager I Ever Knew"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between Dilbert and his dog. The dog shares a story about a manager who was known for being tough but fair, with a unique approach to motivation:

• The manager would tell his subordinates that they were predators, not prey.
• This approach was effective in motivating them to respond to challenges.

The comic strip concludes with Dilbert asking how long it took for the manager to be killed by his employees. The punchline is that it took eight minutes, implying that the manager's approach ultimately backfired.
