Titles

Rockie

Have any of you, or are any of you referred to as "Chief People Officer". I have seen this phrase used several times lately and wonder if this is the trend.

No but a good friend of mine refers to his department as "Department of Humor Resources".
Back in the good old days there was "Labor Relations" for unionized plants, and "Employee Relations" for nonunionized. I suppose "People Officer" is an attempt to evolve, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

Chief People Officer. Acronym = CPO.

hmmmmmm

Chief Parole Officer. Uncanny accuracy.

I call myself, Director of Inhuman Resources, sometimes.

Haven't heard of it. I wish people would just leave titles alone. Changing titles does not change one's job or how it is perceived. It's the person DOING the job who creates the perception.

This week, I'm pretty sure people are referring to me as "that irritable hag." I plan on bringing in homemade banana muffins tomorrow to make up for it.

I'll bring in extras for you guys, to make up for my hagginess of this week. x:-)

Banana muffins are in the kitchen for anyone who's interested.

By the way, my AstroSlam for today says;
"If the shackles of your current life seem to dig into your wrists and ankles, they are. Behave poorly and act like an ass: Your escape will work swimmingly."

I'm trying to ditch my Irritable Hag rep this week, so I'll skip the "act like an ass" advice.

Does the CPO belong to the Department of Redundencies Department?

For some reason, to me "Chief People Officer" sounds too much in the vein of "Chief Sitting Duck" or "Chief Needa Vacation."

Must be time to watch Dances With Wolves...been a few years and I must be aching for some entertaining monikers.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Dopey Acronyms, at my company I am head of the Department Of People Employment.

That's right. I'm the head......
