What’s the wankiest job title you’ve come across?

[Funcamper]

I’ll start:
Forest bathing practitioner
Auxiliary dining consultant ( in a very posh hotel)
Head of talks (what??)

We took on a firm that had a grandly titled Director of Facilitation. There were only 11 people in the whole business??

Was actually the previous owner's idiot daughter who should have been Director of fake tans,trout pouts and posing. Quite why they felt her role would be on going totally mystified me.

Soon facilitated her right out of the door.

Social prescriber. Nope, I dont have a scooby either.

Social prescribers are essentially link workers between people who need support and community charities/groups/activities. So for example, they might “prescribe” a community choir to someone with mental health issues, support them to make links with the local pharmacy to get their medication delivered, etc etc. When done right it’s a fantastic thing- helping to deal with the social aspects of health as well as the purely medical.

Ofc I am sceptical of the current government push for social prescribing as a convenient way of palming more social care off on charities and the third sector but at its heart it’s not a wanky job at all.

My husband was Director of Decisions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He used to get embarrassed saying it.

What were the other directors doing?

Head of Cockpit - some sort of project manager

Service Ambassador (waiter)

Head of artificial insemination. Quite literally wanky.

adventure hero (PT shop assistant in an outdoor wear shop.)

It made me vow never to set foot in that shop.

I thought social prescriber sounded like an influencer. Authoritatively stating what people should do socially and the trends

‘Consultant’ for anyone under 30. I work in the NHs and you can become a consultant in your mid 30s after a tonne of blood sweat and tears. Your average 25 knows Jack shit about anything much less anything in sufficient detail to be a consultant in it.
