Or are the sales guys all called "Product Manager"? ...like every tech startup where everyone is CEO, CFO, CTO, CIO, even though those four people are the entire company

100% you could sell this on LinkedIn as well "An employee committed fraud at work, I could have fired him but I didn't, know why? because he showed initiative and that's valuable. this year I'm promoting him."

I’ve always found it weird that every financial institution has a million vice presidents essentially because certain financial forms and stuff have to be signed by VP’s but the company also signs a million of them a day, so guess what? Everyone’s a VP!!!!

Everyone’s a VP!!!! it's also handy at branches when people come in angry and an employee can get 'the vice president of the bank' and it's just the branch manager. but oh! such service! 'the vp of [bank] will solve my problem?!' Sweevo posted:Or are the sales guys all called "Product Manager"? lol yeah. at the one I was at way back, I picked something like head of design or lead designer because it was technically true and believable, while my coworkers all fashioned c-suite titles for themselves on our card tables

I always assumed these were how they handled ad attribution in the days before surveillance advertising and the dude never existed. They'd just say "oh Don is on another call right now but let me get you someone right away" and mark down that the lead came from whatever magazine they ran the Don ad in

Remember when web browsers got background images and web pages started making embossed tiles out of all kinds of things? Remember how it somehow blew your socks off? 1994 me would have never believed a visitor from the future if he told me tiled backgrounds are usually poo poo and the emboss filter was always poo poo. Remember internet in baby? The imagemap of a kid that would take you to different popular websites and that somehow was a funny parody of internet in a box? Remember when people discovered that gozilla or getitrite or some other download manager had telemetry and it was actually a big scandal? Remember running xsnow?
