The most junior is the Senior HR Advisor while the one directly above is the HR Manager! Christ knows what the top two have as titles! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I can't really go into detail but one issue with my work is that a lot of people who do different jobs have almost exactly the same job title. You also teams who are called essentially completely random things, some of which are deliberately meaningless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure one is National Manager (Scotland) or something similar but as we only have one plant left in Scotland it's a bit redundant. The top woman is likely Darth Humresourcus...

Scum of the earth, thankfully a dying breed.

Left Back Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Our head of HR is called the Chief People Officer so she can get a TLA like the other board knobs. We don’t have a head of finance either. He’s a Chief Revenue Officer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 A company I used to work for advertised for a 'Senior Sales & Marketing Executive' but ended up giving it to someone internal with no experience so everyone in Sales and Marketing had to get a ridiculous title inflation to reflect the fact that "Senior Executive" essentially now meant "Junior". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
