DilbertLand Commentary
Dilbert is Largely Grounded in Reality• This is one reason for its success
Dilbert is Exaggerated to an Absurd Extreme• This is Another Reason for its success
Mayer’s Basic Axiom of WorkLife• My Supervisor/Colleague/Report Has
NO More/Less Clue about How to do His/Her Job than I do about Mine...

Rule-2 Be Productive & Competent Contrary to Dilbert, Productivity and
Competency are, on Average, Rewarded Set Priorities
• Ask Your Supervisor What He/She Needs Done the Most
Complete your tasks ON-TIME• Use Project-Management Techniques (E11)
Take the Initiative – Accept Difficult Assignments

Bruce Mayer, PE CalPoly SLO – MATE210
Rule-4 Improve Your Skills Engineering and Technology Are
“Moving Targets” Take Every Opportunity to Maintain
Skills Currency; Some Techniques• Don’t Wait for your Company to Send you
to Training; make a Proposal– Take the Initiative
• Take an Assignment OutSide your Comfort-Zone
• Take Advantage of Your company’s Educational Assistance Program (EAP)

Rule-5 Learn to Communicate
Most Engineering-Intensive Products Are Complex and InterDisciplinary• Expect to Work Within the FrameWork of a
a Larger Task/Product TEAM– Teamwork Requires Communication
Hone Your Writing Skills• Important for Customer/Supplier Contact
Become Comfortable in Front of an Audience

TO: Mark King Date: 3 August, 1994 FROM: Bruce Mayer, PE CC: Human Resources, LWGraves SUBJECT: Commendation for CHUCK ATTEMA: Request for $100 cash incentive I would like to recognize Charles A. Attema with a cash incentive in the amount of $100.00. Explanation for incentive Over 19Jul9431Jul94 Chuck and I made the long, hot, humid journey to Taichung, Taiwan to service the 16CVD-251 that shipped in Mar94. Epson had not signed-off on this unit (s/n 4955), and a subsequent $1.3M order for another system was in jeopardy of cancellation if Epson did not receive adequate service. Thanks, in part, to Chuck’s efforts on this trip Epson decided to proceed with the next system order. During the entire period of this trip, Chuck had only a half-day off on 24Jul94. The rest of the time Chuck kept a schedule that usually ran as:

Rule-7 Learn the Art of Succinct Communication Almost Everyone in Private
Sector Engineering is VERY Busy Almost Everyone will NOT Have your
Level of Expertise in Technical Subjects In Long (>1 page) Reports Begin with
an EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ES)• The ES is very CONCLUSION Oriented• Should Give the DECISION MAKER
Sufficient Information to Proceed

Re: MHL Large-FPD Inspection System S2 Review – GS3 Report 000000LT Analysis
1. Executive Summary - GS3 Report 000000LT Potential customers for the MHL535 FPD Inspection system require compliance to the SEMI S2 Safety-Standard. In Dec01 a SEMI S2 3rd party reviewer, GS3, traveled to the MHL FPD Inspection System Production Line in Tatsuno, Japan to perform a scaled-down S2 review. This pre-review constituted 10% of the effort required for a full review. The intent of this S2 inspection was to arrive at a preliminary assessment of the effort level needed to achieve full S2 certification. GS3 issued report 00000LT as result of the visit. An analysis of this report reveals: Number of Discrepancies found = 36 The estimated effort to achieve SEMI S2 Certification:
o Non-Recurring Engineering 46 worker-weeks o Non-Recurring Safety-Test Contractor Cost $53k o Additional Recurring Material-Cost $5k per MHL system
Who would Perform Certification Work: B. Mayer MHL Team in Tatsuno Next Step Recommendation
o Return on Investment (RoI) Analysis To determine if the Total Available Market (TAM) for S2-Certified MHL systems Justifies the $100k-$150k cost
When = TBD relative to customer schedule

Rule-8 Inform Supervisor
Keep Your Supervisor Informed About Your Accomplishments & Progress• Helps Him/Her Communicate up the
Chain of Command• Helps You Assess Your
Supervisor’s Priorities• Builds An “Accomplishment DataBase” for
your Performance Review

Rule-9 Make Mistakes
General Rule of Productivity• No-Mistakes ≡ No-Production
Fear of Mistakes Leads to• Indecision & Paralysis• Retreat to the Comfort Zone
→ Skills Atrophy
The BEST Learning Comes from Legitimate Mistakes• Do a Post-Mortem → What did I LEARN?
