Title: "The Dark Side of Employee Birthdays"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip revolves around the theme of employee birthdays and the company's approach to recognizing them. The story unfolds as follows:

• The comic begins with a conversation between two colleagues, where one mentions that all data bases were mixed up for a year and no one noticed.
• The conversation then shifts to the company's sales incentives, which are based on employee birthdays.
• One of the characters asks if they have the salespeople who complained about the system, implying that they have been trained to accept abuse.
• The punchline of the comic is that the company has been using employee birthdays as a way to manipulate and exploit their employees, rather than genuinely celebrating their special day.

Overall, the comic strip highlights the darker side of corporate culture and the ways in which companies may use employee birthdays as a means of control and manipulation.
