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 😅

So with 4 monitors I'm just fucked right?

Just put duplicate programs up in each, some scrolling to look busy, and one window to hide the Galaga game.

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.

I thought one laptop and two monitors is standard?

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.

You should take some time to see the outdoors, it sounds like you're spending too much time doomscrolling on your phone.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Cool. This is the first time I've seen it.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 days ago

it's actually a sine wave, just not enough monitors on the graph 😂

And yet sadly, I can’t even reach “corporate slave” rank.

Why are you working your way down, lead?
