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

If I remember reading some old Mac magazine correctly, Guy Kawasaki’s official job title at Apple was “Intergalactic Evangelist”.
One of the dispensaries near me has weed consultants called “Rangers.”
So that’s why they call it the Mighty Morphine Power Rangers.
I was once a flamer.
“Thinker” is probably the most obnoxious one I’ve heard of, from the CTO of a tech company
An ideas guy with all kinds of ideas.
…most of which are complete shit.
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’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 have a friend who works in GIS and had a title of “Maker of Maps”
Hopefully the good kind.
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
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.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
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.
I really want the job of “head receiver,” like Jerry here.
In some industries, the safety officer in charge is usually called the “competent person”.
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’m a Eurovision fan (spoiler alert: the 2024 edition was dogshit). Hmm… I’m calling myself something else now.
A Eurovisionary.
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.
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?
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.
Erection engineer.
