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 😅

I had a similar choice. My vision is already bad, so it is simply a choice between having one or two monitors.



"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 tucked right?

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



I thought one laptop and two monitors is standard?


*not to be applied to financial services.

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




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.


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

Why are you working your way down, lead?



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.


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

Oh no, I have three... One is huge even.

Yeah but the graph levels out, so just a company slave.

... Can it be sinusoidal?

Where do we put the people working on the Vegas sphere?




You can be the slave's pet



So the smaller the screen, the easier it would be to replace the person with an AI.


By this logic, the pricing terminal with its small portable screen makes me super-duper CEO of all supermarkets in the world /j


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.
