Bullshit job titles. Everyone's a manager or an executive. The guy mowing lawns, is CEO of his one man company. A salesman has become a Senior Sales Executive. The guy handling enquiries at the local council is a Public Relations Executive. Give me a break :) Whatever happened to clerks...?

That's a major pet peeve of mine as well.

A family friend of ours has kids that are in their 20's (one an engineer, other a software specialist and the third a manager in a large grocery chain) that are earning extremely well................

They still live at home, don't pay a cent for the privilege, don't lift a finger to assist with the chores (inside or outside the home), merely come and go whenever they please................:D

And.........the parents are quite content to leave matters as they presently stand.

'Nuff said. :)

It's the generation

Wan't it all on a platter

And when they eventually do leave home they expect the oldies to contribute

No doubt when they are 'the ruling generation they will abolish childcare, schooling and pensions an put the money to towards direct benefits to them selves

As an employer I find the only ones who succeed are those who have taken responsibility for their own actions

Having the right of reply denied.

Censorship.

Seconded, not a big fan of "gagging" when the country we live in believes in freedom of speech.

Though I don't think it is in our constitution, only implied?

Oval,

Anything which adds to the appreciation of a good doughnut, is OK in my book :D

Joz, now you get the other end of the stick as your kids stay at home until they're well over 30. Then again with the housing market the way it is they will have trouble moving out these days.

Aint that the truth...

Gee, so's mine. Hey, wouldn't be the same High School would it :D

Earl, you are correct about freedom of speech in Australia. There is only an implied right and that comes from a High Court decision. Our constitution is silent on most of these sort of issues. We have no Bill of Rights so a lot of out rights are subject to being taken away.

Hey sheds, coming from a grounding in the power industry, we in the game used to like referring to ourselves as a 'turbineoligist', or a 'megawattman' Sounds much better that 'fitter and turner' don't you think??

"Sales Engineer":confused: WTF?

To me this is an insult to anyone who has actually studied engineering. BTW I haven't (except for my trade certificate) and am in sales:o.

Sheds, I think that either of these threads have the potential to knock 'Currently Spinning' off its' lofty perch:D

The plastic packaging they use to seal computer peripherals and the like.

You know the one...you have to destroy it to be able to open it, and its not friendly for the fingers either.

LuckyDog, I also work in the power industry as a mechanical engineer for over 33 years. However my bosses a few years put me in the organisation chart as a "performance reporting specialist". Everyone I've admitted this to regards that as an almighty w***!

I worked for a company that also used the term "sales engineer" instead of "sales rep". Needless to say they had a fancy "mission statement" hanging in the foyer which was impossibly idealistic and was routinely ignored on a daily basis.

Another pet peeve is when you go to a car dealership and hear the head salesman being referred to as the "Dealer Principal" WTF?
