I had the choice at my last company. Two 1920x1200 or one big 4k screen. I choose the two screens. Seems that was already a statement 😅

"Importance"
Status maybe. The guy with the two monitors is probably doing most of the heavy lifting, and his manager with just one screen in his office watching him remotely or behind his back. The guys with the laptops, they're the engineers who tell everyone how the spreadsheet says everything is great while there's actually a fire. Which is what the guy with the two screens is doing, trying to figure out how to put it out.
Importance is not labeled, but it's on the x axis, increasing from left to right.
So with 4 monitors I'm just fucked right?
*not to be applied to financial services.
And yet sadly, I can’t even reach “corporate slave” rank.
It’s really more of a bell curve shape. If you’re not important enough you won’t get a big screen. The receptionist may only have a phone.
Ooh, first time I've seen this one today.
Saw it yesterday though.
And the day before.
And the day before that.
So the smaller the screen, the easier it would be to replace the person with an AI.
Oh no, I have three... One is huge even.
Yeah but the graph levels out, so just a company slave.
I think everyone in our company has two monitors, from low level to the CEO (excepts those exclusively working in the field, they only have robust tablets). But it still checks out, we are just a subsidiary, so everyone is a slave I guess.
And then the lowest rung of all has to deal directly with meatspace in it's smelly, sticky, 360 8K glory.
