    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

          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

                      I don't have a phone. I just witness. I am posting this by sheer force of will. Someone hire me as you CEO.
