Screen size & your importance

Boss needs to get a hold of Plaza 1234 right away.
I was thinking more of a red phone kind of hotline, but this is even better LMAO

Yeah, that explains more big screens for lower income, it doesn't explain so much why higher income folks would eschew the big screens.

First, many rich people are older people.
Regardless of age, rich people bought expensive TVs when even the best ones were smaller. They still work great and have not been replaced.
Also, a TV is not as important to rich people. If they want to watch the game, they get tickets. The old screen is good enough. And a smaller screen probably fits nicer into their decor. In a poor household, the TV is the centrepiece and even if it is ugly, it looks better than the rest of the room.
Finally, rich people may be busier. I do not want this comment to be misunderstood but the reality is that television is just not as central to their lives.
Mostly though, I just think older TVs are smaller.

And, at the top, they just talk to people, like a mafia don.
Nah, above him is the guy who doesn't even talk, just makes graffiti that puts the right messages directly into people's subconsciousness.
And at the very top there's a guy who returned to monke and only does primal grunts

Just had a conversation with someone on this last weekend. They’re what I call someone dependent on corporate daycare. They need to be working or they lack self value. Their boss is an ass, hardly works and this guy thinks he’s slacking at 12 hours a day (exaggerated only a little).
What are you doing that is so important? Is it saving someone’s life? Life changing cancer drugs? No no, it’s a PowerPoint that shows the progress on the projects of equally less important tasks that is only making your boss look good.
And the fucker still thinks he’s not WORKING HARD ENOUGH!!
Yeah it is truly sad. I wish with all my heart that I could have one of those government jobs where I would do the minimum and still get paid well, but sadly, I am stuck in the corporate world.
Thankfully, I just give them my 1% and do the Barr minimum to get the annual increments...but fuck I just hate wasting 8 hours of my life a day doing worthless computer shit. It pays the bills though.

Forget using his phone screen, all an important CEO needs is wireless earbuds
Heh, I bet if you're the CEO of a megacorp, you might not even carry your own electronics. You just have a gaggle of assistants around you who you bark orders at, and then they use their electronics to do something.

Same, I'm also a dev who prefers working off a notebook screen. This fact boggles the minds of my coworkers, especially my boss who seems mortally offended that I only work on one screen.
I guess that means I've broken the social norms of a corporate slave?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I feel it. I excitedly set up my side monitor in portrait mode for coding ages ago, but turns out I barely ever use it. Instead, I just use it for Discord or random youtube videos playing on the side while I do all my work on the main monitor...

It's funny when a big exec leaves and other execs are rushing to reassure us they are to to the challenge of dealing with such a key person departing....
We do not care at all. We have zero confidence in any of them and do not care about any of them
We didn't have a CEO for half a year... What changed? Nothing..
Then we got a new CEO.. His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people..
Thank god for that save

I beg to differ, I'm a corporate slave on a 13" laptop

Oh we were similarly "rudderless" when a major executive left.
Adding to the amusement of the constant panic of missing leadership, was when someone asked about simply promoting one of the interim executives to full time and just getting on with it. This was in a town hall with the CEO and the interim executive in question and in front of everyone the CEO said simply that the interim executive wasn't competent enough to do the job.

Quite an effective way to destroy someone's reputation and ego.
What a colleague! Haha!

I have 3 monitors… (._.)

It has been a while, so maybe I'm wrong, but this is technically an inverse correlation, right?

The amount of screen size reflects the amount of work you do. So a smaller size has become a status signal. Showing you do not actually work.
You do meetings

I don't have a phone. I just witness. I am posting this by sheer force of will. Someone hire me as you CEO.
