wait til they get hired and find out it's the "dilbert" bosses that can't communicate.

Very true. I've had many experiences with superiors who couldn't write their way out of a Mad Lib, let alone a marketing report.

This has been going on for years.

In your dreams, Dude, in your dreams!

I have been "in-harness" for 35 years this June and I have seen the pathetic results of college education. People who cannot hang a cogent sentence together for their lives...and they are proud of it! The problem, in my opinion, is that they are just too lazy to write, edit, rewrote, reedit and prepare a final product. On top of that, the pathetic abbreviations that pass for communications on the web that are inserted into memos is outrageous. I have one employee, who is in his 60s, who I have to keep reminding that his use of these abbreviations is not only inappropriate, but confusing.

My boss doesn't communicate well at at, but he's constantly after the rest of us on the subject. It can be pretty frustrating.
