Modern job titles

The use of the words electrical engineer and heating engineer does boil my p**s
Yep there's two more:
Electrical engineer = sparky
Heating engineer = plumber
oh and
Refrigeration engineer = refrigeration engineer :D
 
The one I hate is personnel which became Human Resources and now people business manager - what a load of nonsense that one is
 
My old Cnut of a boss had the title of service delivery manager which he was proud to tell everyone.

It (in this case) was a posh name for tw@t!

I believe Americans overuse the word Engineer too, they think of Casey Jones and I think of Brunel and there’s a gulf between them.

All due respect Sars, but when I worked as an aircraft design engineer in the USA being an engineer carried as much respect as being a lawyer, medical doctor etc :thumbsup:
 
Another gem from the education sector which I heard today;

School site manager = caretaker
