I beg to differ, I'm a corporate slave on a 13" laptop

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

The CEO also has the big screens. Their peons have two why would they only have one? What screens they're on the most is a different question.

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.

Uh-oh. I have three monitors, and one of them is a 43" 4k TV.

What if you prefer both ends of the scale? I'll take as many monitors as HR will allow, but I will also kidnap a microsoft surface from the ewaste pile as it is so damn handy when you need to go to a location to fix things that dont have a spot to set a laptop.

I have a laptop, mobile, and two monitors. Jack of all trades.

Except russian CEOs get a large screen with a handle.
