So the Orlando shooter was working as a "Sandwich Artist" at Subway

[Liberal_in_LA]

Another example of an elevated title that, many times, disguises a powerless and
low paid job: ASSOCIATE.

Then there is: TEAM MEMBER

Any others?

1. Brad Pitt was one once.

Does that mean he's going to turn whacko someday?

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. Nothing wrong with an honest job, it's just the title. It's ridiculous!

'Artist' implies creativity. You know Subway has determined the amount of lettuce to be sprinkled, down to the fraction of an ounce.

17. What do you mean by 'someday'?

He seems a little whacko now.

3. Domestic Engineer for housewife.

Not saying that being a housewife is a powerless job (altough it can be a long, hard and thankless one) but don't see the reason to csall it "domestic engineer".

5. I'm a damn domestic engineer goddess!

When husband was on the road I ran it all and this place ran like a finely tuned machine thanks to my brilliance. That's kids, grandkids, job, bills, house, car, and everything else you can care to name. I've fixed the washing machine, the dishwasher, and even cleaned our chiminey. I've changed the oil in the car and one time when money was really tight I changed the transmission fluid, too. Not easy...let me tell you.

6. I'm a part time domestic engineer

I often do the laundry, cooking, washing dishes and clothes, dusting, vacuuming, disposing of the trash, shopping and all that other stuff. My wife says she sometimes complains to her friends that I do too much housework and they wonder what the hell she's complaining about as their husbands/boyfriends do little more then drink beer and watch tv when they are home.

4. Management Trainee

11. Sanitation Engineer

aka Janitor

8. When I was

bagging groceries/pushing carts/back room cleaning at Kroger, I was called a "Courtesy Clerk".

9. Colleague

It made it sound a hell of a lot more egalitarian than it actually was. Of course the pretense of equality disappeared the second you dare take them seriously and think they actually want to hear your opinion when they ask you for it.

10. "Sign Dancer" = the people standing on street corners waving those signs

I saw this job posted on Craigslist.

I always thought, "Hey, now that looks like a job even George Bush could do."

That, and Walmart Greeter.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

12. Bush doesn't have the social skills to be a wal-mart greeter

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. I had no idea they were called "Sign Dancers". Cute name

Saw a guy who was really dancing with the sign. Twirling it and tossing it, spinning it behind his back.

14. Opportunity Researcher - that's my new name for being unemployed

:(

15. Ambient replacement assistant...

is the guy/girl who stacks the product onto grocery shelves. My hairdresser is a senior tonsorial artist. :)

16. In Chapters, the Canadian equivalent of Borders, I

was once waiting in line and there was only one cashier working, so the floor manager got on the intercom to call for a couple more "stakeholders" to man the registers. I asked the girl who rang me up if her job benefits included any share of the company and she just laughed.
