Abstract

Job title inflation has transformed professional identity into a buzzword bingo. Organizations grant intricate titles as cheap substitutes for raises, while people concatenate nouns under their names like there’s no tomorrow. The situation is a world-class mess where “senior” means absolutely nothing anymore, everyone is a manager, and reading job titles in business cards gives you a headache.
