So I recently discovered that a shitpost I made about job titles on the company network is now evidence in a court case. This may be my finest hour.

@tarkasteve Having worked for a US multinational I so feel this. The additional idiocy was that we weren't allowed to state job grades because that was 'sensitive PII', but Aus people stuck with Grad, Eng, Snr Eng, Prn Eng, and a rare handful of Snr Prn Eng. Funny how that mapped P1 to P5. Apparently there was a P6 grade but nobody in Australia had it.

So strange now in $currentJob to have job grade listed in the staff directory.

@ingram @tarkasteve I’ll bet that’s not meant to be “Senior Porn Engineer”, but I can’t figure out what it should be.

@Tubemeister @ingram @tarkasteve "Principal". Other completely meaningless terms I've seen sprinkled into job titles like unbelievably pretentious confetti are "staff" and "distinguished".

Personally, if anyone foolishly gives me authority over job titles, I'm making "extremely senior engineer"s.

@noratrieb @whbboyd @Tubemeister @tarkasteve Chief Engineers are like that. Is it the Project Chief, the Program Chief, the Division Chief or the Company Chief? I started calling the company chief the "chief chief chief" and it started to stick, to his disgust.
