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

I really want the job of “head receiver,” like Jerry here.
That is both awesome and scary at the same time
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…

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!
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?
If I remember reading some old Mac magazine correctly, Guy Kawasaki’s official job title at Apple was “Intergalactic Evangelist”.
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.
In some industries, the safety officer in charge is usually called the “competent person”.
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

You can separate bull semen? I don’t want to Google this. How is this done?
No need to Google
You can separate bull semen
by just using your mouth. Hope this helps!
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.
Customer experience architect. The person with that job is an insufferable asshole.
Nobody gonna bring up “fluffer”?
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. 😁
“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.
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”
