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.

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

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.

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.

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

*(Percieved) importance.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 4 weeks ago

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

Except russian CEOs get a large screen with a handle.

Wait.... What should I be then with my jelly star? Should i be running the world rather than being a dev?

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