Screen size & your importance
-
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?

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

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.
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...

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.
When you say campaign are you meaning company?

Here is the expendability graph
If the guy with the "don't-turn-off"-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

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.

Maybe a cross setup would work for you if you ever need a 5th VD

Yes. Sorry, I still don't speak English well, so I use Google Translate.

Executives are the ones that could easily be replaced by AI.

But then people would lose their incentive to improve themselves!

All I've got is the tablet and the phone for work. Gosh either I'm an executive or not all workplaces and job types are alike.

A two-monitor person who works so hard, they're willing to give you three to make you happier.
A four-monitor person has access to inventory/procurement (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.

I must be some sub Spartacus worker. I have three monitors on my desk and two on the management network workstation behind me.
it's a bell curve, at some point you have access to procurement

You just changed how I think about virtual screens. I feel like Khan being unloaded on by Kirk.
I decided long ago that I liked the single monitor with multiple desktops. But in my head they have always been a line of desktops instead of a grid.
Somewhere there is a mathematician who uses a hyper cube array of desktops…

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).
This is true. CEOs generally last very short before they're fired. Any normal person would be set for life by their compensation package, though.
