Screen size & your importance

I have one monitor but it's really wide. What did that make me?

Yes. Sorry, I still don't speak English well, so I use Google Translate.
No worries! I thought I understood, but I just wanted to check.

There are exceptions. My ex CEO and his nepo kids demanded ultrawides so they could more efficiently watch Fox News and get scammed by horny MILFS in their area that want to hook up NOW.

Executives are the ones that could easily be replaced by AI.
Which is to say that you could replace them with a see n say wearing a tie.

It saddens me the fact that there are people out there wanting to do more work.
The game is rigged. Do nothing and get paid.
Agree with you but depends on where someone work. It's rare but some work are undeniably positive to the society.

Its almost as if the more real work you do, the less you matter.
I wonder what would happen if the higher up in a company you get, the less you got payed. I'd imagine more actual work would be accomplished.
The higher you go the closer you get to the people who actually controls the capital. The CEO can have a personal relationship with the board, people who do actual work are merely a number to the higher-ups.

I have three monitors. FUCK.

The CEO is usually on the board and a lot of the other board members will also be CEOs but yes

Depends how lucky you are. There is a guy who works in upper management and he has the privilege to order new equipment for his office, which is all expenses paid by the company. He built a gaming computer complete with neon lights and four monitors right in his office.

Absolutely no corruption in private industry tho the invisible hand takes care of it

If all the two-monitor people get up and walk out, the company stops.
You can lose any other single rung there and still push on.
wrote last edited by [email protected]My spouse and I work for a contractor that is having trouble hiring experienced people like us, so they have been hiring fresh grads outta school. There is a limited pool of experience here, so when management throws a fit one of us is overloaded or gets sick and can’t meet the budget or deadline, it ends with nothing because they can’t afford to lose us. We work on the power grid and it’s a relatively small pool of engineers doing the work we do.
Also, I’m rocking two work laptops with a home setup of 4 monitors and an office setup of 3, but still feel pretty important! -
It's only about how important you're to shareholders. At 6 monitors, you'll become the ever important cyber security expert, who will get replaced by AI, except said AI will do a job so bad it'll sink the company.

Have you been watching me at work?

Value is not the same as importance

I need a standalone watch to rule them all.

When I discovered it can be arranged in a grid, it made VDs so much more useful.
Cause a line of the same amount of VDs (9)... Ugh, not fun haha
Even though you can map each to a shortcut, it's still tougher to use than a grid with directional shortcuts!
How do you have your shortcuts set up for this? And if you don't mind me asking, what desktop environment / window manager are you using?

The waste and corruption in private industry is mind bogglingly huge compared to the public sector.

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.

From my limited experience, it's the size/amount of monitors at the top that correlates with company size, not at the bottom. At my 5-person software company, almost everyone works with multiple screens, except one of the three founders who still works mainly on a laptop display at least

They got you taking care of the cockroach problem in the basement?
