Inflated Titles

I only have a moment to write this, but I am tired of the ridiculous titles that people have nowadays. I have to go through the company mailbox and look at these things day in and day out. I like "Marketing Executive". Sounds important. Isn't. "Account Manager" and "Account Executive" are also important sounding. They aren't. I know, I've had those titles before. The one that I really liked had his title listed as "Small man on sales totem pole". That's an honest man right there. I appreciated his approach. I think it all started with the Breakfast club where a janitor is referred to as a "Master of the Custodial Arts". That's great.

I think in my company I will have feudal names for everyone. There will be a Duke of Marketing, a Prince of Sales. My middle managers will be Barons and Counts. My lowest level employees will be serfs or peons. I'm sure they will appreciate that, but at least they have a shot at getting a title, because nothing infuriates me more then watching people not get promoted because someone was brought in from the outside that has to be trained by the person that should have had that job.
