It’s all HR Business Partners these days isn’t it?

I once saw a job advert for a “Domestic Violence Co-ordinator”, which seemed a bit unnecessary.

Saw a local authority adevrt for a Teenage Pregnancy Coordinator a couple of years ago - I assume you would have to be a male to apply 😉

These irritating sales folk with the pullovers and shiny breeks at arnold clark are no longer called salesmen but product consultants

My job is getting people to go to university. That's pretty much a thing that just happens, and there's a pretty good argument that too many people already do it, and my uni is generally full up anyway. But apparently, it still makes sense to have Education Liaison Officers. Which obviously is a job title that means NOTHING AT ALL, not to mention nobody can spell liaisison so probably half the emails that anyone sends us don't arrive. My job tomorrow is to hire some alpacas. My life is meaningless.

My previous job title was Production Facilitator, basically all the boring day to day shit my then boss didn't want to do.

It was great: interviewing shop floor staff, covering for him in meetings, signing documents. Learned a lot about the business with no real responsibility, until they made him redundant and left me running the plant!
