My buddy told me a story of what he saw at his company. It was an interaction between a CFO and a new lead developer at a small tech/startup company that actually had been around quite a while. It went something like this. Dev: Can we get 2 21" monitors for developers? CFO: Why? Laptop LCD and that old 19" monitor seem to work together just fine. Dev: Yeah, but we can be more productive if each dev can get 2 x 21 inch monitors. CFO: Uhh, no. I get more year end bonus for every dollar I save for the company. So maybe we will revisit this later?
