It happens everywhere. Stewardess is now flight attendant. They call waiters and waitresses, servers. What do you call a hostess that’s a guy? We should all be happy they aren't renaming all our roles to acronyms.
Funny how the closer you get to the execs, the cooler / more sophisticated your job title is...while people far from the top get some euphemism for 'new hire pleeb' even if they've been with the company doing great work for decades.
I'm sure it's a coincidence.
Do you really think that a Sales Person will go back to being called a Sales Clerk. Or a Talent Acquisition Associate will accept being called an Assistant Recruiter?
Tribe Leaders? Sounds anti-diverse.
but you can be agile and be a Tribe Leader, as if most people have any clue what that means... can we go back to functional titles that the world can understand? please?
This seems to be a common pattern. Several roles have changed names. Developers are now "engineers" - because SVB wants more engineers. The BICs have seen many name changes over the years. They want fewer PMs and more scrum masters, so some of the PMs are now being called scrum masters. It's all a big game.
- and the master of my domain.
Well, I'm chief of my staff.
I want to be a chief of staff…. Sounds fancy AF…..
So much to comment- It expands the role and pay much better than exec assistants.
