YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO HASN'T FINISHED THE MANDATORY ONLINE SIX SIGMA TRAINING.

I FINISHED IT, BUT THE SYSTEM CRASHED BEFORE IT STORED MY DATA.

THIS IS WHEN YOU SAY, "THERE'S NO NEED TO RETAKE THE TRAINING.

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Mandatory Training"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled character with a distinctive hairstyle, sitting at his desk, looking unimpressed. His boss, Wally, approaches him, holding a piece of paper.

• Wally: "You're the only one who hasn't finished the mandatory online six sigma training."
• Dilbert: "I finished it, but the system crashed before it stored my data."
• Wally: "This is when you say, 'There's no need to retake the training. I'll just check off your name.'"

The comic strip humorously highlights the frustration and inefficiency of corporate training processes, where employees are forced to complete unnecessary tasks due to system errors or technical issues.
