Apparently I'm off the end of the chart. My last workplace set up had:

  • primary 15" laptop with two external monitors (so 3 screens in use simultaneously)
  • secondary 15" laptop with external monitor (so another 2 screens) when the primary one was tied up doing heavy processing (I was lucky and managed to hold onto my previous laptop when we did the usual rounds of device upgrades whereas most people just returned them to IT to be retired, so I had a spare that I could readily take home for WFH days without messing with my main office setup)
  • a standalone PC monitor (for automation stuff, so the screen was there just for monitoring as needed)

You are actually the chart itself.

The all-too-common Load bearing IT

Damn, according to the chart, I bet you were working over time and logging in on weekends.

I avoided overtime like the plague since my employer didn't like to deal with it (so if circumstances required me to work overtime my supervisor was pretty good about allowing me to take it as time in lieu the following week), but unfortunately there were definitely times where I had to log in on the weekend (the challenge of having customers that require support 7 days a week).
