Hahaha this is awesome! ^_^ I myself am kind of a proponent of real work and life balance for people, so this just makes my day. If anybody happens to be looking for a good resource about work and life balance, my favorite business author is writing a new book called the Zig Zag Principle. It should have some good info about <a href="http://zigzagprinciple.com/work-and-life-balance/">work and life balance</a>. But anyway, Dilbert rocks this world! =D
There is a ceiling on the amount of income tax revenue that can be extracted from the populace, regardless of the tax rate (in the U.S., it's about 19%). Tax rates higher than the ceiling just cause people to do things to avoid paying the difference. I suspect a similar phenomenon exists with regard to productivity, particularly in the wireless age. There are plenty of ways to conduct non-work related business while at work, without using the company computer or phone.
At least Demonbert was willing to recognize that Dilbert was alive to begin with. Wally, on the other hand, may be from another dimension entirely.....
