In Dilbert, the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this lighthearted series of essays.
