Screen size & your importance
-
Importance, or lack of work contribution? Smaller screen = works less.
-
Fact is, in my company, higher ups have more screens than me. Like phone, desktop, couple monitors and huge wall monitor.
Maybe your company is a statistical outlier

Importance as in payment, probably

"Importance

Except russian CEOs get a large screen with a handle.
-
They'll say that their work is mainly talking to other people

I have a laptop, mobile, and two monitors. Jack of all trades.

I'm at "iPad and enormous curved monitor connected to a laptop" so I guess I average out to upper-middle management. Which is shockingly accurate.

True for the phone and tablet, but for any sort of computer that is not true
I work on a laptop with virtual desktops and I am much more productive that way than with a big screen... Or two big screens.
Everything is in the center of my field of view, I know which VD of my 3x3 grid holds what. It's much more efficient for me than bigger screens could ever be. And that is not for lack of trying!
It just depends on the person.

Oh fuck, I have 5 27-32” monitors, phone, 2 laptops and a wall TV. Based on this I’m half fired already.

The job of people around the CEO is primarily to make decisions. All this huge chain of managers is needed only to aggregate information so that the CEO can make an informed decision. This is how many large companies operate. I would even say that there is a direct correlation between the size of the campaign and the number of monitors at the bottom.
The flip side of sitting behind a huge monitor is that you won't stay outside with a huge number of your employees if you make the wrong decision. It's just a different job.

That's four screens total. You're first on the chopping block.
Nah, actually, in a typical company the lower down the ranks you are the less likely you are to be fired, statistically speaking (to a point, of course you're more likely to be fired while on probation or something).

VDs arranged in a grid ? Why ?

B2 is my terminals, B3 is my IDE, B1 is a secondary IDE (for instance, DataGrip), C row is browser windows, A1-2 is temporary, not often used windows, A3 is communication apps. I mostly use A3, B2-3 and C2-3. It's all mapped in my head so I can instantly switch to whichever VD I need.

That's impressive
Personally I never needed more than 5 desktops, and I don't think I could remember what I put on more desktops

Well, if the company gets fined for mismanaging or committing fraud, who do you think they will fire?
A scapegoat is very important.

Haha that's fair
Although it's a habit thing. Most of these are fixed, I never switch them to a different position. So the only ones I have to remember is A1-2 if I am using them, the rest is as easy as knowing where your glasses are stored in your cupboards.

Why would anyone fire someone who works so much for so little?
