What creative title would you put on your personal business card?
I didn’t watch much of the American version of The Office. I do know, however, that when Dwight introduced himself as Assistant Regional Manager, Michael often added two little words: Assistant to the Regional Manager. Two words that degraded his position considerably. Some job titles today have become far too wordy, mandating larger business cards or considerably smaller font. As large companies add tier upon tier to their management hierarchy, they necessitate confusing, wordy titles like:
Co-Assistant Vice President of Logistics, West-Southwest Division
Do these titles bestow a veneer of specialization, or just diminish the role to one that’s bound to be downsized following the company’s next poor quarterly performance? Even the extremely common title of Senior Vice President feels contentious. Senior gives the air of ascending that corporate ladder. Vice, however, kicks the legs out from said ladder, sending the trumped-up employee to the ground. You may have some fancy title, but be honest—you’re just some higher-up’s glorified secretary! The CEO—your boss’s boss’s boss—needs some new business cards made. Chop, chop! Make mine while you’re at it:
CEO of Spousal Money Management and Retirement Ambitions
