[[WMG: Dilbert's company is an incompetence sump]].
* This is how the company manages to stay in business despite never apparently producing or accomplishing anything. Its actual function is to act as a place to concentrate and dump corporate incompetence, allowing other companies to remain competent and productive. Of course, only the very highest levels of management know this, so Dilbert and the rest believe that they are a normal company.

So they may very well sell vibrators.

The Dilbert universe is what the future ''{{Peanuts}}'' universe would have been like. Charlie Brown would eventually grow up and work for a company that neither cared or appreciated him. He still is rejected by women and has terrible luck, despite what a nice guy he is. Snoopy would eventually grow hardened and cynical, discarding his life of idle imaginings and instead dedicating himself to conquering the world. Alice is Lucy, while Wally is Schroeder, who neglected his talents and wasted his life instead of achieving his full potential. Ratbert is Woodstock (he could fly in one strip), Ted the Generic Guy is Shermy, Catbert is the cat next door and Asok is Rerun. As for Linus? The Garbageman, of course.

** There is a story arc where Alice gets fired. One of the strips is devoted to Wally naturally bullying her about this. The last panel is Wally telling Dilbert "If she offers you a goodbye hug, don't take it." Sure, the hug was probably meant to crush his ribcage - and he ''has'' been squashed so badly even his arms are deformed - but the fact remains that he accepted that goodbye hug.

Maybe Dilbert's company is some kind of Infrastructure, and Dilbert's continued sanity and competence is the only thing preventing it from functioning, hence the useful advice. With the Dupeys, he was just dicking around, because hey, even robot demons need a laugh.
