Culture of lying to avoid conflict is a business culture I know oh too well.

Pep talk isn't the sort of thing that works on Wally, especially from PHB,

Heads explode when it leaks that Wally is paid the most.

Days off vs higher pay...

PHB and Catbert are discussing Ted. I thought Ted had his ashes flushed down the toilet by Wally last year, but evidently he's alive and doing a terrible job. Catbert suggest PHB talk to him to make him want to quit. About what doesn't matter for PHB talking for two minutes made Catbert's tail go asleep. Other than my understanding that Ted died on launch pad on his rocket to Mars, today seems like yesterday's strip.
Of course, Catbert being in today's makes me think of "the moan," and "feng shui."

The daily strip through Thursday was PHB interupting Dilbert about his project that took him a few days to set up a programming environment and more time dealing with technical debt. Then there was the flow problem when adding a project and the zone interruption.
Today, PHB asks why Dilbert isn't done with the software, to which Dilbert sharply responds in front Catbert the above mentioned interruptions. Catbert being clueless asks PHB "what did he mean by that?" PHB says "sounded like some sort of Feng Shei."

Feng shui — which literally translates to "wind and water" — is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The goal is to enhance the flow of chi (life force or spiritual energy), and to create harmonious environments that ...

I never knew the definition of the Chinese interior design philosophy had words "flow of chi" and "create a harmonious environments," so PHB actually seems clever in his response.

Today PHB gave Dilbert an extra project that would mess with Dilbert's flow. Yesterday, we learned about the technical debt problem and on Monday we learned about setting up programming environment.
Yes, I googled some more.

Given on Sunday PHB and Catbert spoke about Dilbert's happiness meaning he was primed for more work, today makes sense. I wonder if tomorrow brings a moan.

I'm not a  Dilbert fan. I don't hate him or anything, I just never followed his existence beyond the last few months and the various subscriptions I had to the Dayton Daily News. I remember a News Radio episode with Matthew being obsessed, so I never felt the need to get too involved since Matthew was a loser, or at least Andy Dick played him. I'm looking to have a hobby in 2017, and studying the work of Scott Adams seems to be a worthwhile endeavour. Today's Dilbert seems odd to me because it seems like PHB has Mr. Burns qualities. I always thought he was an idiot that somehow got to be boss by dumb luck. I know nothing about Catbert beyond he's not a pet.

Catbert: The one called Dilbert is showing signs of happiness at work. Boss: That means we can give him more work and he won't quit. Excellent. Is anyone else exhibiting signs of unauthorized happiness? Catbert: No. Everyone else is in the narrow band of misery you want them to be in. If they were any happier, it would mean you're overpaying them. If they were any less happy, the would take their own lives. If you don't hear any laughing or screaming, it means you're doing something right. Boss: What about moans? Catbert: Moans are ideal. That's the sweet spot.
