>That's an absurd assumption. Or do you have some shred of evidence >that supports this wacko theory? Why would having empty space on your >desk do anything but give you someplace else to store crap? Wow. Such negativity. I'm getting a really bad vibe here.... Perhaps you'd fill the empty space with crap, but not everyone does. I have to ask this (but know I shouldn't), what's the big deal? Why do you need a justification? Wait... do you work in Finance or Accounts Payable??? That might explain it... that bottom line, cut the expenses to the core stuff, huh? >And I can't imagine a job where a worker with a slightly bigger screen >would actually be more productive than one without, all other things >being equal. Believe it or not, in a work environment, many people associate "new" (as in new equipment, new desk, etc) as making them feel more "important" to their company. Have you ever worked in a company where people got upset when "someone else" got the new equipment but they didn't? It's things like this, including certificates of awards printed on Laser or Inkjet printers, clocks with the company logo, etc, that make employees feel empowered and important to the company. For example: "Bob surveyed his desk as the IT Department installed his new 19" LCD display and thought to himself... 'I'm important. They're taking away my 2 year old 19" CRT display and giving me a brand spanking new, 19" LCD display. THIS is THE latest technology! This is so COOL! The boss/company must think I'M doing SOMETHING GOOD to deserve this. I can't wait to let the guys know about this. Larry > Space and space. Replacing a 19-inch CRT with a 24-inch LCD gains space: > 1) Added screen space boosts productivity > 2) Added desk space boosts productivity. ************************************************************************ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************ * ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
