    @tarkasteve Before I noticed the "en_AU", the "legend" names and lots of names ending in "ie" I was speculating that you were Australian.

        @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.

                  @tarkasteve I once wrote an internal message about a company we were involved in a lawsuit with. (The company I worked for was a multi-billion-dollar entertainment company so they were pretty much always involved in at least one lawsuit.) The message wasn't false or even particularly controversial, but wasn't flattering.

                  An exec PMed me and said "is that something you would like to see in a court filing?", to which my reply was "in my defense, that would be awesome" before relenting and removing the post.

                      @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.

                                I got fired from a company once and a few months later got a call for my deposition in the shareholder's lawsuit against the company for their assholery. It was great.

                                          @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.

                                          @whbboyd @Tubemeister @tarkasteve The title inflation got to the point there are now Distinguished Senior Technical Fellows. Because having an office and carpark* as a Senior Tech Fellow wasn't enough.

                                          US only. No carparks or offices for Australia
