Dilbert's Words of Wisdom:
-
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your
day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
-
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they
make as they go flying by.
-
Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
-
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the
first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.
-
I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
-
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat
you with experience.
-
A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
-
Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
-
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the
month than you did before.
-
The more junk you put up with, the more junk you are going to get.
-
Salary Theorem
Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can
never earn as much as business executives and sales people."
This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation
based on the following two postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time
And since: Knowledge = Power and: Time = Money
It is therefore true that: Knowledge = Work / Money
Solving this equation for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity,
regardless of the amount of Work done.
Conclusion:
The less you know, the more you make.
