A new Dilbert cartoon makes fun of the Google employee 20% time to work on whatever they want.

As many of you know, Google has a policy to let their engineers spend 20% of their time work on anything they want. Products like AdSense came from it. But is the 20% time really all that great? The Dilbert cartoon pokes fun that although Googlers do have 20% time, they also on average work 60-plus hours per week.

This is not the first time Google was featured in Dilbert, here are some of the other times:
