Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Adams, creator of the popular comic strip Dilbert, continues the satirical look at office life that he began with The Dilbert Principle (1996). Being a weasel encompasses everything that we hate about our coworkers as well as all the sneaky, time-wasting activities that we ourselves engage in just to avoid doing actual work. Here's his take on getting ahead by sucking up to the boss: "The great thing about being a sycophant is there's no deception going on. You know you're a weasel, your boss knows you're a weasel, and your coworkers know you're a weasel. Yet the method still works like a charm." The book is filled with lots of to-the-point Dilbert strips with appearances from all the regular characters, and (supposed) actual e-mails from readers about the absurd things that go on in the workplace. This book is best left on your desk to read in snippets for comic relief from the inane culture of office life. For more Dilbert hilarity, and to correspond with Adams, visit Dilbert.com.

Kurzbeschreibung
Building on Dilbert's theory that "All people are idiots," Adams now says, "They are also weasels." In this hilarious book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant gray area between good moral behavior and outright felonious activities.

Adams does it again!
23. Oktober 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
All I can say is that if you enjoy the Dilbert comic strips, and the content matter of those strips -- then you will love Adams' books. What Adams could not do in his comic strip he *DOES* do in his books.
In his two previous books, The Dilbert Principle and The Dilbert Future -- Adams expounded on the ideas and examples of his comic strip into full blown discussions on the subjects. Such as his often quoted and highly public view point that, "all people are idiots."
He frequently relates stories from the workers on the front lines of the war between the smart witty peons of the world versus the dumb slow witted morons that are "managing" us all. Then to top it all off he includes relevant examples from his strip to illustrate his point whenever possible. So you get the best of both worlds -- entertaining insights, thoughts and essays on typical frustrating or absurd working situations, and equally entertaining but also very funny comics about those same situations.
Read it, you will like it.

You Should DEFINITELY Buy This Book Unless...
26. Oktober 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the best book I've read in a long while. I laughed out loud enough times to scare my fellow transit riders. I'd say if you're sprouting a few weasel whiskers of your own you will find this to be an uncomfortable read. Otherwise, you will thoroughly enjoy IDing people you know and feeling smug about it.
The book itself is well-written and hard to put down once you get started. Mr. Adams has written another best-seller.
I'd recommend buying this book for your family, friends and co-workers just to see how they liked it. Then you'll know who to trust in the future.
In my opinion, this is a MUST READ and a great gift for the holidays. No one needs to know you'll have an ulterior motive in giving it to them, and who knows, you might find out a few surprising things about yourself in the process.

Laughed So Hard I Cried: IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!
2. Januar 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I couldn't even get past the first 2 or 3 pages without sobbing in utter hilarity, not only because the writing and wit are exceptional, but the insight is DEAD ON. I've worked for a major financial services technologies division for 14+ years, and in data processing for nearly 30, and Mr. Adams' skewering of what goes on in any company is so on the mark it's uncanny - I SWEAR he has a webcam in my office building and is rehashing what goes on on a daily basis. The flip side of this is that he IS dead on, and it's a sad, sad commentary on the state of the business world as we know it in 2005. I began my career as an eager to learn & produce programmer, and progressed to frustration, disbelief, cynicism, apathy and, now, I guess in all honesty: weaselhood. Wish it weren't the case, but the odds are so stacked against being a responsible, committed, caring professional in this psychotically mismanaged world of ridiculous rules and obstacles - to say nothing of increased outsourcing (decisions made by executives who never have to worry about THEIR jobs being sent overseas...). It is to a point where you can't survive to retirement without weaseling. And what ==is== the point of holding on to shredded values of yesteryear that would result in a precarious suite of 'golden years' when nothing and no one around you cares or supports your sense of integrity and honor? Sad, but true.
