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.
Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 8 months agoYou do know that most places use docking stations that connect laptops to multiple screens and… you guessed it… ethernet.

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.

Yeah, go ahead and tell me (a sysadmin) how wired network which is just switches and cables is ‘throwing more equipment at the problem’ compared to hundreds of wifi access points.
Wireless gives you portability but if you’re going to sit down and work then wired network is always better than wireless. That’s a physics thing.

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.
