    The CEO also has the big screens. Their peons have two why would they only have one? What screens they’re on the most is a different question.

    A bit higher up is an old-school dial phone. And even higher is a dial phone without the actual dial

        I was thinking more of a red phone kind of hotline, but this is even better LMAO

        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

      Same, I’m also a dev who prefers working off a notebook screen. This fact boggles the minds of my coworkers, especially my boss who seems mortally offended that I only work on one screen.

      I guess that means I’ve broken the social norms of a corporate slave?

        I feel it. I excitedly set up my side monitor in portrait mode for coding ages ago, but turns out I barely ever use it. Instead, I just use it for Discord or random youtube videos playing on the side while I do all my work on the main monitor…

    Here is the expendability graph

    📉

    If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

      It’s funny when a big exec leaves and other execs are rushing to reassure us they are to to the challenge of dealing with such a key person departing…

      We do not care at all. We have zero confidence in any of them and do not care about any of them

        We didn’t have a CEO for half a year… What changed? Nothing…

        Then we got a new CEO… His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people…

        Thank god for that save

          Oh we were similarly “rudderless” when a major executive left.

          Adding to the amusement of the constant panic of missing leadership, was when someone asked about simply promoting one of the interim executives to full time and just getting on with it. This was in a town hall with the CEO and the interim executive in question and in front of everyone the CEO said simply that the interim executive wasn’t competent enough to do the job.

    All I’ve got is the tablet and the phone for work. Gosh either I’m an executive or not all workplaces and job types are alike.

    Its almost as if the more real work you do, the less you matter.

    I wonder what would happen if the higher up in a company you get, the less you got payed. I’d imagine more actual work would be accomplished.

      The higher you go the closer you get to the people who actually controls the capital. The CEO can have a personal relationship with the board, people who do actual work are merely a number to the higher-ups.

      It saddens me the fact that there are people out there wanting to do more work.

      The game is rigged. Do nothing and get paid.

        Agree with you but depends on where someone work. It’s rare but some work are undeniably positive to the society.

        I wouldn’t be in the field if I didn’t enjoy the work.

        However I’ve positioned myself to make sure no work is ever unpaid, unless it’s for my own future startup idea.

        Just had a conversation with someone on this last weekend. They’re what I call someone dependent on corporate daycare. They need to be working or they lack self value. Their boss is an ass, hardly works and this guy thinks he’s slacking at 12 hours a day (exaggerated only a little).

        What are you doing that is so important? Is it saving someone’s life? Life changing cancer drugs? No no, it’s a PowerPoint that shows the progress on the projects of equally less important tasks that is only making your boss look good.

        And the fucker still thinks he’s not WORKING HARD ENOUGH!!

      When you have three monitors followed by two floating monitors above those on arms. A laptop on the side table neck to you. Your phone right below your keyboard and the tablet on top of the laptops keyboard.

      You have reached peak screenage.
