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 !

I used to work with someone who had the title 'Fun Facilitator' and she was a mealy mouthed judgemental miserable cow.

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.

I vetoed a hopefully only half-serious suggestion of Webmistress after seeing the reaction in a meeting. Didn't make people think of HTML!

Domestic Violence Perpetrator Trainer.

I work for one of the UK's leading banks.

We have a 'Head of Australia'.

!

I live in France and regularly used to drive past a panel that said

'joe bloggs. Imaginiste.'

I have never discovered wtf he actually did, and the panel is no longer there so I probably never will, but shall always wonder.

I used to work with a 'Children's book enthuser'

It looks tame next to 'pig wanker' though

Chicken sexer.

I once worked with a 'solutions manager' and thought that was pretty ridiculous.

Only way it could be worse was if it was 'solutioneer'...

Head of Australia

Isn't that the Queen?

dh had a typo on his email signature for ages at work Señor Accountant.

I used to be a Fly Pusher. I used to, well, push flies :)

I used to be a Scrum Master.

I used to be a Customer Service Advisor, my title has now changed to Homechoice Officer. Makes me sound quite important actually!

I always think boxers have the best titles. 'Undefeated Champion of the World'? Or have I made that up?

I was once offered a job as 'chief inspirer'. Took it too but the firm went bust before I started. Can't imagine why....

Going downmarket a bit, I just saw a job ad - Asda are looking for a Chilled Colleague.

Are they looking for someone really laid back?

"Facilities support supervisors" = school janitors

I had a painter and decorator once who called himself an interior designer. He was so shit that we had to put it all right ourselves once he left.

My friends dad had the title Supreme Allied Commander. He worked for NATO I think, but it always made me laugh, like he was some sci-Fi intergalactic war hero.

Troll loner: my DH was a Scrum master. Now he's an Agile Practitioner. Still don't know what either is but seem to involve lots of post-it notes?! And he's definitely not agile!

stretcher - i made cooker coils

Notquitesoonedge: errrm- I wouldn't make fun of that job title if I were you!

Talking of Asda: their job specs are hilarious- eg

hourly.asda.jobs/TGWebHost/jobdetails.aspx?SID=%5eZqGww2gyxquVhfgPiDtfFEiq3OYfjJgPe9sKpKqsY3Fz6rO8ylxSFE%2fokPCIxg4Y&jobId=541648&type=search&JobReqLang=140&recordstart=1&JobSiteId=5034&JobSiteInfo=541648_5034&GQId=1213

I used to work for a company who had a team of "Threat Specialists", some of them were even "International Threat Specialists", I would have loved that on a business card.

My OH was once a 'Kitchen Designer' for a cowboy kitchen company (he wasn't aware of how dodgy they were until after he started working there), he was essentially a salesman. Found and applied for the job on the Job Centre website no less .
