Ceo !

Was going through old photos for possible use on website and found these. Thought some of you might enjoy, if you've ever worked under bad management. The title plate says "CEO". He thinks he should be on a pedestal so I gave him a toilet to stand on. Made from scraps, he is really a waste product. Mickey Mouse shaped hole where his heart should be. Has about as much sense as a tulip so that is what he got for a head. Can you believe a judge at a sculpture competion said that I was a bitter man? Without even hearing the explaination! Anyway that was a long time ago, hope someone gets a smile out of it now.
Matt

Was the judge a CEO or an aspiring one? I think you did a great job on this one.

There's another kind?

Having one of those 'management-caused stress' days, I decided to pop over here for a few minutes and seeing this brightened my day.

About the bitter comment, I had a boss who got on me with the classic, "You see the glass half-empty instead of half-full." I pointed out that you don't hire a plumber to tell you how many good pipes you have.

I think that's hilarious. You can't but help see the humor in this. Unless of course you never worked for a corporation...

And why do so many people think Dilbert hits so close to home??

Thanks Y'all, Glad you liked it. I need to remember that one about the plumber! And the "son in law" is a good idea.
Matt

Scott Adams has the greatest job in the world. He just draws up cartoons about the things that really happen in the corporate world. Forget all the books on management - Dilbert tells it like it really is!
