Much has been said in the past how the job industry has gone bonkers over the last couple decades. Jobs that didn't used to need college degrees require them, the crazy vax requirements, placing diversity requirements, etc. But when did the job titles get so fake and gay, and the job descriptions as well? Example, I was looking up jobs for hotels and there was crap like "food and beverage expert." The titles are fluffed up shit, and the descriptions frequently make no sense as well. When did that become the norm in America? For those of you not from America, is it like that in other countries?

Our economy is fake so of course a lot of the jobs are, too.
There's tons of jobs paying 80k+ that simply involves determining who gets grant money. You basically just remotely interview minorities and disabled people and pick who gets free money for no reason...and you get paid for that.
It is an entire industry of grift. They grift it from the Feds, the State takes a chunk and distributes it to "non-profits" who take a slice and hire workers for insane salaries who do nothing...
Amazing how capitalistic the communists are.
I have no shame, how does one go about getting one of these 80k jobs?
You look between your legs and find a brown vagina.
I run across them in the PNW for remote or hybrid work, they all have really stupid names and are nonprofit.
In the 50s when men in corporate offices decided they wanted more money and a better title to impress the Joneses, despite the company not needing it. It went nuclear after women joined the work force.
Job titles are retarded because the hiring side know they have to make it sound nice, the the seeking side who take these jobs don't know any better. They think a nice title makes them more important
I know a guy who thinks he's top shit now because he's a "services support Officer" or something like that in a government job. Some bullshit role. What he actually does is walk around the office where other government workers are clacking away on their computers and he just helps them every time they have a small technical (software UI) issues to resolve. That's it
Big kids babysitting other big kids in a glorified daycare centre
Yeah. The whole concept is fucking stupid. The computer drones are so incompetent/intentionally undertrained to do their job fully, that another class of job was created to fill the gap and help them do their job ...
One job I had escalated from gardener to director of landscape management. It's part of academic degree bloating so that some college can collect big $$ issuing certificates of [in]competence.
Jeeze, I'd much rather be a gardener than "director of landscape management."
Whatever happened to "groundskeeper"?
Groundskeeper is a bit more than gardener
Dvornik.
I don't know, but I know it was mocked in the Office. Avatar had it too.
It's because of women. They demand constant validation and no criticism, and they get it.
I knew a guy whose title was "Director of Ideology" at a left wing non profit in 2011 so at least that long ago.
The left was always much more ready to embrace the euphemism treadmill.
The economic collapse is because of Dem policies. They want to do two things: turn the economy green and fight a proxy-war in Ukraine, except that the one precludes the other due to the obvious. If you do both, you kill the economy.
In Aus. Yes. Very much so.
Exactly the same, in fact…
