For me, a random sales guy took the cake when he introduced himself as “Chief Innovation Evangelist”.

I was a noodle ambassador, once upon a time.
All in a day’s work for a dedicated servant of the Flying Spaghetti Monster 🍜
R’Amen!
I laughed out loud when I saw someone I know on LinkedIn convert from real estate agent to ‘prompt engineer’
That one bugs me. Should require an engineering degree.
Language creep. I imagine it gets worse as we age…
-Senior Application Engineer
Worked in printing before things were phased to computers and had to shoot/cut out negatives on a light table for the press plates. It was called “stripping”. So, I was a stripper once without taking off any clothes.
Pharmacists are drug dealers. At least I call them that. 😁
I was being recruited to design and develop a machine that sorted bull semen into male and female and I half jokingly said I’d consider it if i could have the title of Sr Semen Sorter and manager said ok. COVID stopped the project though
At first I was like “good luck finding that female semen…” Then I realized I’m just dumb.
Yeah I’m still not getting it lol
In case you seriously aren’t getting it, it would sort sperm based on whether it had an “x” or a “y” chromosome
Shit ok that’s what I thought but I misremembered some biology and told myself that’s not how it works lmao.

That is both awesome and scary at the same time
Maybe this doesn’t count but… I once had a manager who had “Master of All He Surveys” on his business card.
We didn’t get a long too well.
What is he secretly Lord Zedd or something?
I have a friend who works in GIS and had a title of “Maker of Maps”
A cartographer?
I know what GIS is, if he only does GIS and no other programming or engineering isn’t he a cartographer?
Sorry, I thought the question was what GIS was.
They were a programmer and DBA
Hopefully the good kind.
“Thinker” is probably the most obnoxious one I’ve heard of, from the CTO of a tech company
I feel like besides being a silly title, I feel like it would rub me the wrong way if I worked at that company with any other title.
Because of the implication.
I was looking for a new job recently and found a listing for Part-time Manhole Cover Inspector. Was tempted to apply, but I was not qualified.
My younger brother had a summer job in high school as a worm farmer.

Nobody gonna bring up “fluffer”?
Chief Trainee.
Context: The hierarchy at this job I once had (and still kind of have) went like this:
First, the four departments:
Technician, Navigator, Mechanic, Processor.The structure: Trainee tech/nav/mech/proc -> tech/nav/mech/proc ->
Shift Leader tech/nav/mech/proc ->
Chief tech/nav/mech/proc ->
Party ChiefThis one guy we hired was good at what he did, and he had years of experience from a different company. He was hired with the understanding that he’d take on the chief role after some time.
However, HR stupidity dictated that a certain duration with the company was required for various levels, so he had to start as a trainee. And pay was also linked to this, and he was supposed to be paid as a chief.
So I as a shift lead at that time had him working under me as Chief Trainee so he could learn our methods and systems before he got into the role as my Chief.
I’m a Eurovision fan (spoiler alert: the 2024 edition was dogshit). Hmm… I’m calling myself something else now.
A Eurovisionary.
I was once a flamer.
My aunt used to work as a “cheese stirrer”
The weirdest I’ve ever had was “Keyholder”.
My ex briefly had the title of “Bioethicist”.
I AM THE GATEKEEPER!
That one is good and much needed.
