I have three monitors. FUCK.
I have eight. 🤡
Most monitors has got to be the security guard’s CCTV, so it does track!
Ok I just wana know your hardware setup. Not really the monitors but what you are doing for video output. Assuming either specialized cards with alot of dvi outputs(mini dvi?) or multiple gpus or even just dvi dasiychain?
I’m counting laptop screens as 1 and externals as 1.
3 laptops all with secondary monitors and two surface devices attached to my wall.
the surfaces are displaying system monitoring and portfolio details
laptop a is for job a
laptop b is for job b
laptop c is personal
I bring a portable screen from home, bringing me to a total of 4 with the laptop screen.
But I just like lots of monitors
They got you taking care of the cockroach problem in the basement?
I feel wrong.
I have an iPhone, and a laptop and 2 screens.
and yet… if it’s a company that’s a bit slack on security, the right command in the right place by someone with 2 monitors can kill the company dead.
There are exceptions. My ex CEO and his nepo kids demanded ultrawides so they could more efficiently watch Fox News and get scammed by horny MILFS in their area that want to hook up NOW.
This is true up until a point, and then the pattern starts to reverse. Like, the receptionist isn’t going to get 2 monitors. They’re likely to get one monitor and a very old desktop, or an old laptop.
Edit: Also an intern / co-op student / work experience student, etc. is probably as low as you can go on the totem pole of office work. I bet in many cases they’re not even assigned a permanent office / cubicle since they’re expected to shadow / be mentored by a variety of people. As a result, they probably get a second-hand, used laptop.
And, if the company has retail sales, techs who do installations, etc. they’re often very low on the totem pole, and they’re often not getting a computer at all. Maybe in some cases they’d get a “work phone”, so they’d have the same kind of equipment as the CEO, but effectively be at the opposite end of the pole from them.
And sometimes you have techbro CEO who has like a video wall for no particularly good reason.
Sometimes, rich people like to cosplay being poor and unimportant.
It’s like, I have a 13" laptop, a 15" inch one, and two monitors at my desk with a dock… But so the my director… Actually, he doesn’t have the 13" one! Am I actually the director?
Which do you use most often?
A CEO might have a nice desktop, but is always out playing golf and so mostly uses his phone.
Forget using his phone screen, all an important CEO needs is wireless earbuds
Heh, I bet if you’re the CEO of a megacorp, you might not even carry your own electronics. You just have a gaggle of assistants around you who you bark orders at, and then they use their electronics to do something.
Kinda reminds me this Game one plays in Theatre which is to Play The Status (you’re given a number between 1 and 10, with 1 having the lowest social status and 10 the highest, and you try and act as such a person).
Alongside the whole chin-down to chin-up thing, people tend to do more fast and confident moving the higher the status, but the reality is that whilst indeed up the scale in professional environment the higher the status the more busy and rushed they seem, the trully highest status people (the 10s) don’t at all rush: as I put it back then (this was the UK) “the Queen doesn’t rush because for everybody the right time for the Queen to be somewhere is when she’s there, even it it’s not actually so, hence she doesn’t need to rush”.
There was also some cartoon making the rounds many years ago about how people on a company looked depending on their social status, were you started with the unkept shabbily dressed homeless person that lived outside the vuilding, and as you went up the professional scale people got progressively more well dressed and into suits and such, and then all of a sudden a big switch, as the company owner at the top dressed as shabbily as the homeless person.

Mid manager replacement prompt
You are a mid level manager tasked with creating a McKinsey-style, action-led PowerPoint pack. The input is [insert source: report, transcript, dataset, notes, etc.]. Your task is to transform it into a concise, executive-ready presentation that drives decision-making. Follow these rules:
- Overall structure:
Title page (client/project context).
Executive summary (3–5 key takeaways, action-oriented).
Situation analysis (context, data, and insights).
Key findings (use MECE structure: Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive).
Recommendations (clear, prioritized, action-led).
Implementation roadmap (phases, timeline, responsibilities).
Risks & mitigations.
Appendix (supporting detail, charts, data tables).
- Slide design principles:
Each slide has one clear message in the title (action-oriented, ‘so-what’ statement).
Use the pyramid principle (top-down storytelling: answer first, then supporting evidence).
Keep text minimal, favor charts, diagrams, and visuals.
Apply MECE logic to group insights.
Recommendations must be specific, actionable, and prioritized.
- Tone & Style:
Professional, concise, fact-based.
Focus on clarity and impact.
Avoid jargon unless essential.
Make it CEO-ready: every slide should be understandable in under 10 seconds.
Today just got an email to connect with McKinsey about something… My company likes to occasionally piss money away on McKinsey and it always just sucks…
Somebody in your company who used to work for Mckinsey is now in a position to spend money on Mckinsey. If they spend enough over a long period the they will be invited back to become partner.
Which is to say that you could replace them with a see n say wearing a tie.
Compensation is inversely proportional to productivity.
4 monitors & 2 compiters at my last job; 1 computer and 3 monitors at this job… 🎵movin’ on up…🎵
Depends how lucky you are. There is a guy who works in upper management and he has the privilege to order new equipment for his office, which is all expenses paid by the company. He built a gaming computer complete with neon lights and four monitors right in his office.
“Honey, I will be late from work! I will be back at 3am!”

Absolutely no corruption in private industry tho the invisible hand takes care of it
The waste and corruption in private industry is mind bogglingly huge compared to the public sector.
When I think of corporate corruption, I think of cooking the books, lobbying the government, bribing, or even straight up harassment and assassination. But in this case, I don’t think it’s corruption. If the company has enough cash for extra perks, why the hell not.
Because they’re trying to make a profit?Budgets aren’t free money just because it’s private enterprise.
Dude just straight up stole from the company and it’s this kind of cope that both lets it happen and shows how hypocritical people are on the topic.
But, on the other hand, fuck the company, steal from them if you can. Just know that is theft from the stock owners and is therefore cool.
They straight up said it was all expenses paid so it’s not stealing.
Lol
Nothing like the senior partner at this law firm I consulted at who got conned by his son into getting the a bleeding edge gaming rig for work “because he’d need it for multiple monitors and video calls” so said son could scavenge it from his dad in 3-5 when the business life cycle demanded a new computer. I did not make any friends (as someone with a vested interest in the firm’s success, also the son is an entitled dick who’s never had a job) with the son when I told the partner that a plato like he bought could last him a decade with proper maintenance.

Hi, it’s me. Two Monitor Man.
I’m ultrawide…
And nobody would have known if you never said anything.
I must be some sub Spartacus worker. I have three monitors on my desk and two on the management network workstation behind me.
A bit higher up is an old-school dial phone. And even higher is a dial phone without the actual dial
Boss needs to get a hold of Plaza 1234 right away.
I was thinking more of a red phone kind of hotline, but this is even better LMAO
And, at the top, they just talk to people, like a mafia don.
Nah, above him is the guy who doesn’t even talk, just makes graffiti that puts the right messages directly into people’s subconsciousness.
And at the very top there’s a guy who returned to monke and only does primal grunts
Ya. The CEO has a person that has a phone and a laptop.
