I wonder if he's always been this angry and toxic, or if some life event pushed him to be the way he is now. It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to spend time in his vicinity.
It goes back decades.
As soon as he had an email list, he used it to spew vitriol. There's a reason why United Media doesn't have an online archive of his original email newsletters.
Way back when, I thought he was doing a dumb character. But then he got a blog and it became soooo much worse. (In between posts about his cat.)
That's why you hire somebody (or a firm) media-savvy enough to write your social media, blog, etc. posts.
As anybody in the biz should know, the only color that matters is...green.

Over the years I grew tired of Adam’s non-stop cynicism in Dilbert and read it less and less often. The strip is a one-trick pony. It does seem like he’s got some stuff going on inside his mind that he needs to explore.

True, but it resonated very well with those in corporate culture.
Especially engineers.
Fortunately, I have never had non-technical supervisors or managers.
It was quite disappointing to discover that Scott really thought the PHB was the comic's hero.

I have the utmost sympathy possible for those marginalized white nationalist billionaire white people who lose an insignificant amount of privilege when held to any sort of account for their words and actions and throw tantrums like spoiled infants. We should pay more attention to them and throw money to them.

About the time Adams started showing his true colors, I replaced Dilbert with Pearls Before Swine for my daily "observational humor" comic.

His syndicator dropped him today which effectively ends the distribution of the strip. The publisher of his books has also canceled a forthcoming book of his strips.
