Not so long ago, the name of the job described it's function. Agent, advocate,accountant, project manager, surveyor, analysis, planner, project co-ordinator etc. You knew what people actually did and what they were. Stealthily the PC seudo-science psychobabble "professions" began to use them. The Media, social science, political quangos and other third rate "hard core of nothing" professions. Name a few you know and call a spade a spade.
"Call a spade a spade". Name your favourite job description that inflates and mismatches the real job
I like the way that everyone is a manager these days, it's an excellent stroke on the part of employers, getting their staff to do more work for less money and a fancy title that everyone else knows is just 'shite'. Poor little Muppet's.
