    Because they're trying to make a profit?Budgets aren't free money just because it's private enterprise.

    Dude just straight up stole from the company and it's this kind of cope that both lets it happen and shows how hypocritical people are on the topic.

    But, on the other hand, fuck the company, steal from them if you can. Just know that is theft from the stock owners and is therefore cool.

    They straight up said it was all expenses paid so it's not stealing.

      Every time the CEO walks by he thinks “that guy has upper management written all over him”.

        A bit higher up is an old-school dial phone. And even higher is a dial phone without the actual dial

          Ok I just wana know your hardware setup. Not really the monitors but what you are doing for video output. Assuming either specialized cards with alot of dvi outputs(mini dvi?) or multiple gpus or even just dvi dasiychain?

          I'm counting laptop screens as 1 and externals as 1.

          3 laptops all with secondary monitors
          and two surface devices attached to my wall.

          the surfaces are displaying system monitoring and portfolio details

          laptop a is for job a

          laptop b is for job b

          laptop c is personal

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

              It does if tech changes fast.

              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.

                    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?

                      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

                            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!

                                  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
