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

    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. 😁

    A good line from a video about a cancelled game jam documentary: “Matti was hired as a Pepsi Consultant, a job title less dignified than Human Trafficker”

    I worked with a guy who was Happiness Officer and all my friends found it hilarious. He was pretty good at keeping the team happy though so I didn’t give him too much shit about it.

        Actually i’ve had the rare privilege of working in companies that really valued their employee’s wellbeing. At least for some time. It was a combination of inexperienced founders, really convinced managers, and super enthusiastic investors who didn’t really know how to crack the market so they kind of gave us all freedom to do as we pleased. This was all pre-COVID of course but it was a blast to waste millionaire money for a few years.

    “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.

    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.

    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.

    A former colleague had the title “Project Professional”.

    As you can tell, he was good at doing projects, just not at doing anything in those projects.

    I’ve taught Sex Ed in high school

    I’ve been a topless waiter (I’m a dude, sorry)

    And a stilt walker, and magician, and balloon twister

    And I was paid to stilt walk in a library singing The One Pound Fish song as part of an art installation

    Does that count?

    I’m a Eurovision fan (spoiler alert: the 2024 edition was dogshit). Hmm… I’m calling myself something else now.

    A Eurovisionary.
