For me, a random sales guy took the cake when he introduced himself as “Chief Innovation Evangelist”.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Actually i’ve had the rare privilege of working in companies that really valued their employee’s wellbeing. At least for some time. It was a combination of inexperienced founders, really convinced managers, and super enthusiastic investors who didn’t really know how to crack the market so they kind of gave us all freedom to do as we pleased. This was all pre-COVID of course but it was a blast to waste millionaire money for a few years.

Customer experience architect. The person with that job is an insufferable asshole.
Not me but a buddy of mine was a “Cheese Monger”. I always found that one pretty funny.
Also when I was in high school, I was going through a book of prefessions in “Careers” class and I found “Chick Sexer”. Heh… Heheh… Chick Sexer.
In some industries, the safety officer in charge is usually called the “competent person”.
If I remember reading some old Mac magazine correctly, Guy Kawasaki’s official job title at Apple was “Intergalactic Evangelist”.
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. 😁
My ancestor (born circa 1720) was a matchstick saleswoman. Her name was Gillette, same as the razor brand. I try to live up to her legacy
That is both awesome and scary at the same time
Chief Keef.
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”
“Photographer nose itcher” is one that comes to mind.
It’s not that the rationale doesn’t make sense (imagine trying to concentrate a camera and suddenly being itchy and wishing you had someone scratch you so you don’t have to unconcentrate your camera so you can free a hand in order to itch the itchy part), but imagine a second person following you around for that purpose in particular, like a photographer’s equivalent to the Piss Boy.

Sounds like piano player assistant, aka page turner
In my first company an intern that updated our webpage from time to time was our Internet Content Manager.
One of the dispensaries near me has weed consultants called “Rangers.”
So that’s why they call it the Mighty Morphine Power Rangers.
If you think that’s strange, wait until you see the Scientologists.
I know that is used for someone who generally has a good enough grasp on science and technology to make rough approximations of what could happen as those fields progress, but it sounds like a fancy term for a psychic.
Don’t worry, everyone that’s supposed to get a good grasp at Tech and science gets as wrong as everyone else.
Fusion power plants are a decade away. As well as quantum computers for practical applications, and general artificial intelligence. Everything that is more than ten year gets compressed into "next decade’.
I’m switching my LinkedIn title to Futuronomist to avoid this kind of mixup
