At least in my faang office, there’s essentially zero ports to plug into. If you have a desktop, there’s a port, but that’s the exception. I’ve never seen anyone plug a laptop in.

Ironically, as I’ve become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I’ve had to do less and less of that “look around and understand everything” work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I’m in this file.

Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer…

You good, man? You good?

Cigarette butts, the thing op is complaining about, are not mostly ash. They’re mostly plastic. Not cool to litter.

Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

A single anticapitalist idea: real shit?
