Depends on the company I suppose. I worked at a manufacturing company and we were considered begrudgingly-tolerated overhead to the real business of making stuff out of metal and plastic. Operations decided if they had enough time to run programmer jobs (put cards in reader) during the day. In 1979, my manager didn't think there was an economic advantage to providing programmers with terminals, although they were used for clerical staff for order entry, processing, shipping and invoicing, I believe. I recall we shared one terminal among about 10 programmers so we could review source code, JCL, copy books, etc,. using a homegrown TCAM application under VS1.
