to ask what is the daftest job title you've heard ?

[mrsfuzzy]

my local dustmen [they are all men] are now know as 'community cleansers' eh? and the term 'human resources' always reminds me of organ transplants for some mad reason. what happened to personnel department ? god, i'm getting grumpy in my dotage !

Ambient replenisher sounds like someone in an all-night club in Ibiza.

HOWLING at 'pig wanker'

I was a Product Evangelist in the nineties.

IT telesales is what that was.

I used to know a guy who packaged fudge ready for sale.

My job title is relatively self explanatory, and my job description covers quite a lot, however, I like to refer to myself as a "glorified copy-and-paster" because that's how most of my working day is spent. I actually really enjoy it

I knew a bouncer who referred to himself as an 'Eviction Technician'.

pig wanker!! [snort]

Lonny, sounds like a lot of fun to work in your bank. No doubt the Gatekeeper's counterpart at the bank would be the Keymaster ...

"Podium Dancer-Unpaid"

Dh was recently headhunted for a role as Chief Evangelist. He's not a minister. He works in IT .

I am a self-styled Director of Domestic Operations. Or dodo, for short.

Product Evangalist, Microsoft use this term, it's awful and the ones I have met are not even specialists...

I work for a company that took over an American competitor a few years ago. Since then, the structure and titles have become so Americanised that there's no making head nor tail of them. Previously, everyone at board level was a Director. Now they are Senior Vice Presidents. We also have Deputy Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Deputy Vice Presidents, Senior Directors, Directors (now low-level management) and a Managers, who basically scrub the sinks.

One of our managers has the title People Trading Manager.

I always think of slavery.

I love Director of Better from W1A about the BBC

And my DH's first job at a well known IT company was 'Message Middleware Porter.' It was a specialised programming job and nothing to do with pushing trolleys around or collecting the office post.

In the US offices of the firm I used to work for, a name plaque thing on the main reception desk announced that the person behind it was the 'Director of First Impressions'.

Scrum master

Years ago when t'internet was new and before the job title 'Webmaster' became standard you would see people describe themselves as 'Web Wizard' or 'Web Vixen'. I wanted to be a vixen.

Also in IT; a large bank of servers used to run the intranet was k own as the webfarm. Someone who worked there listed their job title in the internal directory as 'Farm Hand'. Always made me smile .

I used to be an Animal Wrangler (local theme park's way of saying, underpaid teen giving pony rides and doing rabbit handling with snotty nosed kids).

I am currently an Operational Support Administrator -supposedly doing the admin for the operations managers and supporting them in their day to day duties. Actually: dogsbody for the entire management staff and fallguy for missing paperwork!

We also have a 'Cheif Assigner' who's job is essentially to make sure that everyone else has work to do.

Transparent Wall Maintenance Engineer

Window cleaner - OK I made that one up.

My mum was the Minister for Home Affairs.
Job description by my dad.
She didn't work outside the home.

I once had a meeting with someone who organised corporate parties and 'team building' events.

His business card said:

Jim Bloggs
Facilitator of Fun

He was a twat.

I work in a sector with lots of silly titles;

Angel of Disruption
Culture Ninja
Collaboration Consultant
Chief Happiness Officer

These are a handful that I've seen recently on a delegate list.

I want to be an Angel of Disruption!

What the hell sector do you work in LadyStark ?
