His monitor is big because he’s blind. He’s blind because his monitor is big.
Actual story, from reddit user knobcrik:
in 2005 I was working for a “telemarketing” firm somewhere on the east coast. morale was so bad at the company, management went to great lengths to keep people that actually worked hard. one of the ways they did this was a short lived but highly entertaining award for “Employee of the Month”. Said employee was treated to answering calls from a “special” desk with a 42″ monitor.
Here is the first and last employee of the month winner. The next months winner could not go more than two days with the XL monitor stating his “retinas were getting burned out by the heat from the screen”.
I have been holding on to this picture for a while…I think its safe to release into the wild.
