Your Official Job Title

[pfc beansprout]

-i guess to those that apply...what's your official job title and in 'layman's' term? what do u do? ...just gettin an idea of what we have here at YW....





*hope this is not a double thread...searched for somethin like it, didn't see it......

[Craig]

I don't think I've ever had only "1" official title. Always at least 2. Different groups will always refer to people differently based on their function from their perspective. Different people doing virtually the same job with have different titles based on other factors; These may include grandfathered former job titles based upon previous work responsibilities or perceived duties at time of hire/transfer/etc.

Or to check out how much porn they still have in their temporary internet files folders.

I do programming, but if a user wants me to check out their pc, I'll take a stab at it.

Had this one guy bitch about his computer's speed. So, I took a look. He was about as good at covering his tracks as a bear walking through mud. Porn history going back for weeks. Temporary images of porn and other stuff to the tune of 10 meg or so.

I kindly cleaned it up, then went on my smirking way. And he's not the only one. :rolleyes:

[Adaon]

Was Office Staff.

Laymen's Terms: Grunt paid to get yelled at and slave over paperwork

Title: Recently upgraded to Licensed Staff Agreement Level 4.

Layman's Terms: Go in Monday, get sick Tuesday Wednesday Thursday, comeback Friday, and get asked to resign because the job you do and the work you keep off your boss' desk ordinarily day in and day out stockpiled up and scared your boss crapless for the three days you spent puking your guts out. Forget the fact that the Friday you are asked to resign is the Friday before Christmas.

Thusly, you keep working towards New Years, the date agreed upon by all parties involved that your resignation would be efficient for all parties involved, when on the Friday before New Years you are asked to "unresign" because you boss really really does like you and was just stressed out the week you were out sick, and therefore, that makes everything okay about her asking you to resign because you went from 20 hrs a wk to 40 hrs a wk to help support her office when all her other office staff up and quit on her and you put in more hours to help her office, but sacrificed your time in class and school to make that happen.

Some people are just horrible people managers.
