Value is not the same as importance
I have three monitors. FUCK.
I have eight. 🤡
I need a standalone watch to rule them all.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have you been watching me at work?
Agree with you but depends on where someone work. It’s rare but some work are undeniably positive to the society.
I wouldn’t be in the field if I didn’t enjoy the work.
However I’ve positioned myself to make sure no work is ever unpaid, unless it’s for my own future startup idea.
But then people would lose their incentive to improve themselves!
4 monitors & 2 compiters at my last job; 1 computer and 3 monitors at this job… 🎵movin’ on up…🎵
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.

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

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.
I can verify that this is correct.
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…
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.
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!
You should start poaching the gaming industry, it’s shedding developers like mad. Most of them are familiar with several stacks so pickup up new stuff is nbd.

Middle management screens are used by everyone.
Compensation is inversely proportional to productivity.
