My work has sadly gotten a number of people in trouble, including members of the military who post them on base. "Dilbert" remains subversive. One of my favorites--anything that mocks The Man threatens the power structure. That bosses are humorless control freaks hardly needs repeating.

You should have stayed in Taliban training. It is more profitable.

Everyone was upset over the boat being closed, especially those who had been there for a long time. The comic strip helped to boosted morale and made coming to work (just in case) a little easier. People were bad mouthing the bosses before the strip was posted and after. Why didnt they hire a person who could read lips to go through tapes and fire everyone who said anything bad, that would have cleared the place out quick.

Writing a strip about police work, I also get alot of mail from guys on the job who read and post my strip in their stations. More often than not they all say the same thing, "I'm half afraid to post your strips at work because they hit too close to home" or something along those lines. I take it as a sign that I'm on the right track in my writing! Although, I would never want anyone to lose their job over it. I’ve had similar experiences as Norm.

Pointy-haired managers are alive and well. The dead horse gags going on now in Dilbert just crack me up. The cycle where my wife used to work (Teletype Corp many, many years ago)was the Chicago press (or WSJ) would say layoffs were coming, management would deny it, then two weeks later layoffs would happen. After once or twice you'd think they'd just realize they had no credibility and should level with their employees, but noooooo ... it never changed ;) I don’t get it though … they were going to lay them all off anyway, what was the real point of firing the guy first.
