    am I the only one that thinks this is odd

    OK, so the call floor has 2 work stations for blind people, with braille readers, braille keyboards, etc... now I know why they have monitors on them, so sighted people can see what they are doing when they are doing maintenance or configuring the computers... but here's what I don't quite understand... they keep the monitors on while the blind people are using them I could understand if their was a TM doubled in with them so the TM could see what they are doing, but they leave it on for all times
    they keep complaining about our budget problems, and I know that 2 monitors being turned off will have a minuscule savings, but that would still be a savings, and trying not to sound like a complete douche, but the people using the computer will never know whether or not the monitor is turned on, and if they did know they probably wouldn't care...

      Who knows.
      after today I think my answer is because the center managers are morons (in fairness to them though, most of the managers are good people... you know the type, the one's you would gladly go out for a round at the bar... or golf if you don't drink... and even to some extent respect as managers, but still do really stupid things that give you a head ache if you think about it too long).

        Morons? Really?! Wow! I never would have guessed!

        It's normal, you're just odd.

          Maybe the people aren't "totally blind." I've worked with blind/vision impaired before and the degrees of sight can vary greatly.

          Still, if they aren't using them... it would make a lot more sense to turn them off.

          But as we know, at most places, sense does not = management.

                Maybe it's so the manager can look over their shoulder?
