My failed corporate career became the fodder for the Dilbert
comic. Once it became clear I would
not be climbing any higher on the corporate ladder, it freed me to mock managers without worrying that it
would stall my career. Most failures create some sort of unplanned freedom. I took full advantage of mine.
