Being a CEO suddenly doesn't seems that great.

By Thomas Baekdal | Friday, March 21, 2008 | Section: notes

Last week Jessica Hagy created this simple illustration - and I think it is true in most cases.

Not good if you are the "Automation Manager and Change Practice Innovation Officer" (AMCPI), the "Usability and Innovation Manager for Assistive Information Appliances" (UIM-AIA) or simply an "Executive Quality Assurance and inspection Officer" (EQAIO).

It is probably also true for non managers. If you are the "Second Class Environment Protection Assistant - Fourth Level" or an "Education Centre Nourishment Production Assistant" you are probably not much better off...

Other silly job titles

Anyway, just for some Easter fun, here are the top 20 silly job titles from "The Sun":

  1. Vision Clearance Engineer (window cleaner)
  2. Education Centre Nourishment Production Assistant (dinner lady)
  3. Waste Removal Engineer (binman)
  4. Domestic Engineer (housewife)
  5. Knowledge Navigator (teacher)
  6. Flueologist (chimney sweep)
  7. Stock Replenishment Adviser (supermarket shelf stacker)
  8. Head of Verbal Communications (receptionist/secretary)

  16. Wastewater Treatment Officer (sewage worker)
  17. Crockery Cleansing Operative (washer-up)
  18. Space Consultant (estate agent)
  19. Media Distribution Officer (paperboy)
  20. Dispatch Services Facilitator (post room worker)

Wired's 26% iPad Share »

There is one story that keeps popping up about Wired Magazine reporting that 26% of their traffic is now coming from the iPad. A truly amazing number. But there something odd about it. I'm not seeing that anywhere else. So I did a little digging.


The Stream »

My use of the stream have now reached a point where I am no longer looking for news. Instead, my world is pretty much divided into two types of information. Updates that are followable, and updates that isn’t. I am now spending 99% of my time on the first group.


Impressive Foursquare Stats »

Foursquare Grader has compiled a list of the percentage of people who have been rewarded a badge on Foursquare. This tells us a lot about how it is being used. Most social networks have a relatively low activity rate, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.


I'm Not Dropping Facebook »

A few days ago I wrote, “Facebook is Dying, Social is Not,” and it appears that I hit a nerve. The article has so far been read by more than 25,000+ readers, in less than 3 days. It is safe to say that the complexity and privacy issues are something people really cares about.
