My mate in Cheltenham worked at Virgin when I did and he said his job title was 'Stock Prevention Officer'. I said 'Your a security guard'.

Silly names, just say it how it is, in my view! lol

It's all rubbish isn't it? A lot of it is just snobbery too. To be honest they could make my job title what they want if I get a pay-rise, it means nothing.

I used to be a Sales Executive. There is nothing 'executive' about 16k a year and a 40min lunchbreak

Does that mean you associate with financial crims ?

Before my company standardised titles and strictly enforced them many middle managers embelished their job title to such an extent as to make Idi Amin's uniform look positively restrained and understated.

IIRC it started as a response to the government wage freeze in the 70's when salary increases were limited to those being promoted, it brought about a raft of layers in companies employment structures, with varying degrees of titles which meant that people could get rises every year as they crept slowly up the corporate ladder. (this freeze also gave rise to the custom of employee benefits , the company car being the most popular until it was sussed and taxed into oblivion for those who did not actually need a car for their job)

I think these days it relates more to the workers being almost ashamed of being seen to have what they feel others would percive as a a menial job, so employers "glam" the role up to attract applicants.

It does make the words to My old mans an Residential waste Recycling Technician, he wears an residential waste Recycling Technician's hat, a little harder to get a tune for.....

I notice this a lot on Eggheads when they introduce the contestants giving their name age and job title. Nearly every one of them are managers or supervisors.

A bloke on Masterchef gave his occupation as 'Recent graduate' which I assume is street for unemployed.
