Retaining the sardonicism that has kept the comic strip Dilbert as the long-running staple in office humor and aiming the focus on the follies of the Pointy-Haired Boss as well as the CEO, this volume calls attention to all the worst traits possessed by every supervisor any office worker would ever know: incompetence, lack of empathy, sadism, and mismanagement, to name only a few. Adams makes this work relatable and contemporary by referencing current events, relevant corporate practices, and up-to-date technology all framed within the familiar world of Dilbert and his colleagues. Longtime fans of the comic as well as astute readers who enjoy satirical office wit will enjoy this most.
VERDICT Consistently funny and bitingly witty, I Sense a Coldness to Your Mentoring is a pleasurable read for any individual who has ever had to work with a bad boss.
