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

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.

Absolutely no corruption in private industry tho the invisible hand takes care of it

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They straight up said it was all expenses paid so it's not stealing.

Oh fuck, I have 5 27-32” monitors, phone, 2 laptops and a wall TV. Based on this I’m half fired already.

Why would anyone fire someone who works so much for so little?

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

That's at least 9 separate jobs right there!

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.

Compensation is inversely proportional to productivity.

It's only about how important you're to shareholders. At 6 monitors, you'll become the ever important cyber security expert, who will get replaced by AI, except said AI will do a job so bad it'll sink the company.

Apparently I'm off the end of the chart. My last workplace set up had:

  • primary 15" laptop with two external monitors (so 3 screens in use simultaneously)
  • secondary 15" laptop with external monitor (so another 2 screens) when the primary one was tied up doing heavy processing (I was lucky and managed to hold onto my previous laptop when we did the usual rounds of device upgrades whereas most people just returned them to IT to be retired, so I had a spare that I could readily take home for WFH days without messing with my main office setup)
  • a standalone PC monitor (for automation stuff, so the screen was there just for monitoring as needed)

You are actually the chart itself.

I must be some sub Spartacus worker. I have three monitors on my desk and two on the management network workstation behind me.
