  You do know that most places use docking stations that connect laptops to multiple screens and… you guessed it… ethernet.

    My last job was with a Fortune 100 technical company in a sales position. No one used a docking station and no one bothered with an Ethernet cable. Neither did any of the customers we dealt with. People with desktop computers were wired up but most everyone else used wifi all the time.

    Not my last job with a Fortune 100 company. Nearly all of us used wifi all the time. Our engineering and software development groups did use desktop computers with Gig E though.

      Sorry to hear your company doesn’t care about productivity.

      We get a second screen, power, and stable internet connection via docking stations.

        My company produces networking equipment and actually knows how to implement reliable wireless and wired networks. If your company’s wifi network is unstable it was not designed and implemented correctly.

    Long time since you bought a laptop, or even looked at them? Even most of Dell and Thinkpad mobile workstations no longer include an Ethernet port.

      They include USB-C and most docking stations have… ethernet.

        And in the offices I worked in nobody had a docking station. They aren’t everywhere.
