I adore Dilbert humour, and I loved that Scott Adams had Asok the IIT grad, as a desi intern. The sad news learnt via Sepia Mutiny, is that he has passed away. However, this fantastic quote from a commenter shows that cube life will continue to be a source of irony/comedy.

WE just had a christmas party @ work , where everyone was invited first. 2 weeks before the party , it was told , contractors ( h1 b holders mostly of indian origin - non employees ) need to make up the time they spend in the party ( about 4 hrs ) and one week before the party , we had one more announcement saying company policy prevents non employees from participating but if they wanted to , they can seek special permission from their managers.

But it so happened that 90 % of the managers were H1B contractors themselves and so 3 days before the party , there was another announcement that all contractors can join the party. But just one day before the party they wanted the permission from managers to be done and H1b contractors didn't bother and the christmas party happened
1) without Santa ( we had elected managers and each manager raised funds for charity and the manager who won ( who collected maximum ) was a h1b holder of indian origin and his prize was to dress up as santa ! )
2) Without the Christmas tree - as the 90 % of the decoration committee was of the h1b holders
3) with more than 60 % of the indian veggie food being wasted , as no one was there to eat it !

Fact: Like attracts like in the working world (i.e. incompetence attracts incompetence, mediocrity begets mediocrity, and the smarts rule the world).

Funny: Put a group of underperformers together, make them managers, and observe how this spontaneously results in tourettes-like decision making.
