Screen size & your importance
-
and yet... if it's a company that's a bit slack on security, the right command in the right place by someone with 2 monitors can kill the company dead.

who do you think they will fire?
10 to 20 percent of the workforce, so the CEO still can get a bonus.
Yuuuup. My last company let go of 20% in a single round of layoffs

Your description is basically of a "spherical CEO in a vacuum", ie. the ideal and abstract version of how corporations should operate. It has very little to do with reality
Have you worked with very many CEOs at SMEs? Based on my experience it seems to match the description, by and large.

This is so accurate, it hurts.

I must be some sub Spartacus worker. I have three monitors on my desk and two on the management network workstation behind me.

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.
Exactly, this is why the most 'important' person just uses a phone they are the most efficient with the smallest screen

Compensation is inversely proportional to productivity.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I've been a C-suite executive, and I've worked with executives (incl. CEOs) at public companies.
Not only is there often a thermocline of truth that stops "bad" information going up the chain, CEOs more often than not make decisions based on nothing but their own opinions, and they will more than happily discard any information that doesn't already fit that opinion, and even if negative things do manage to reach them from the other side of the thermocline, they often discount it or explain it away

I feel wrong.
I have an iPhone, and a laptop and 2 screens.
Hello my brother/sister/velociraptor/etc in screens. We're worthless together

You are actually the chart itself.

They'll say that their work is mainly talking to other people
Which is why they believe AI is the future.
It does everything they do.
Produce slop

Well, I can only write from my own experience. I've worked for several major campaigns in my life. In banks, in telecom operators. And it's almost always been like this. And where there was none, the campaign collapsed. Not in a moment, of course, because campaigns, like people, do not die instantly, but age and degrade. But as a result, it was.

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.
iPad, 2 phones, 2 laptops, and a double monitor. I own my own business with no employees so I do all the jobs.

I have 3 monitors, what am I?

Grid VDs club. Although I only use 2x2 because toggle up/down/righ/left is complicated enough for my brain.

A few well placed commands by a few lowly 2 monitor types are always the kind of things that derail companies on a fundamental level.
What senior management always forget is that they need us vastly more than we need them...

When you say campaign are you meaning company?
