    Bro, I have one coworker that does his work on a 14" laptop, no external mouse or keyboard.

    I have no idea how. I have minimum 15 windows open at once and am going back and forth on them or have 4 windows open at once in my monitors to compare data and make markups. And ofc a nice keyboard and mouse. Laptop gets shoved out of sight.

    I feel like he’s either really slow or not doing any work at all.

    And then I feel guilty because I don’t work hard enough 🙄

      The answer is he is really slow.

      I have that same coworker.

      He’s the true definition of a grinder. Works on a laptop screen with only touchpad. He works 7 days/week and 9 hours/day to keep up productivity. I have no idea why.

      I told Mgmt to please for the love of God buy him a monitor, and a mouse. My coworker refused both…

        Yeah makes me feel like I’m so efficient I don’t need to work near as much as I do!! But honestly my job is pretty easy, I’m under utilized and while its boring, its not bad and I get paid enough.
