    Importance, or lack of work contribution? Smaller screen = works less.

      Well, if the company gets fined for mismanaging or committing fraud, who do you think they will fire?

      A scapegoat is very important.

      The job of people around the CEO is primarily to make decisions. All this huge chain of managers is needed only to aggregate information so that the CEO can make an informed decision. This is how many large companies operate. I would even say that there is a direct correlation between the size of the campaign and the number of monitors at the bottom.

      The flip side of sitting behind a huge monitor is that you won’t stay outside with a huge number of your employees if you make the wrong decision. It’s just a different job.

        Your description is basically of a “spherical CEO in a vacuum”, ie. the ideal and abstract version of how corporations should operate. It has very little to do with reality

      True for the phone and tablet, but for any sort of computer that is not true

      I work on a laptop with virtual desktops and I am much more productive that way than with a big screen… Or two big screens.

      Everything is in the center of my field of view, I know which VD of my 3x3 grid holds what. It’s much more efficient for me than bigger screens could ever be. And that is not for lack of trying!

      It just depends on the person.

          Faster switch. Think each column being 1-3 and each row as A-C

          B2 is my terminals, B3 is my IDE, B1 is a secondary IDE (for instance, DataGrip), C row is browser windows, A1-2 is temporary, not often used windows, A3 is communication apps. I mostly use A3, B2-3 and C2-3. It’s all mapped in my head so I can instantly switch to whichever VD I need.

            That’s impressive

            Personally I never needed more than 5 desktops, and I don’t think I could remember what I put on more desktops

              Haha that’s fair

              Although it’s a habit thing. Most of these are fixed, I never switch them to a different position. So the only ones I have to remember is A1-2 if I am using them, the rest is as easy as knowing where your glasses are stored in your cupboards.
