AlanHo Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 This BBC article has amused me - it just goes to show how stupid our society is getting.Since I post a daily "Thought for Today" I presume that I could be given the title :"Forum inspirational concepts administration coordinator"andsome could be "Forum senior political protagonistic posting technician"pops might be "forum early shift senior spam controller and technical advisor"Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 It is all a bit silly, but I would like to bet that as each new ridiculous title is invented the person who invents it is upgraded by at least one level and gets a significant increase in salary and self esteem.It is all mixed up in our inability to call a spade a spade.

andsome Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I am irritated to hear a chairman or chairwoman called simply a chair. What was wrong with personnel manager that it had to be changed to human resources manager? I was a technical sales representative, but the company called an area manager, even though I managed no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
