I met someone whose job title was something like ‘Global Process Transformation Architect.’ I'm sorry what does that even mean? 😂 What’s the most ridiculous corporate title you’ve ever come across?

"global process transformation architect" makes 100% sense to me. Process transformation projects are super fun!

After 20 years in tech I am astonished by the overuse of “Architect” and vast amount self-proclaimed “experts” I have the daily displeasure to work with. Most times, the title does not fit their ability or quality/level of level of work being produced. VP or Director is another one - especially when they are an IC with no team. Even my role as a SPM, the “senior” just means I have been doing this role for too long and have earned my cynicism and bitterness.

The same thing happened to me in my last job after I was critical of management to one of the family at an awards do (which we won because of my work). The PIP happened the following week just before Christmas and lasted all of one day. Turns out it’s a company habit of getting rid of people who don’t fit ‘the cult’ just shy of two years when they can’t go to an employment tribunal. I was glad to take the salary (and bonus) and get out pdq.

I started a new job 6 months ago, since then my boss left, the team has changed and we got a new boss, and everything I was trained on when I onboarded is changing due to factors outside of my control..adopting a whole new way of doing things. I feel like I'm starting a new job all over again and not in a positive way. I'm not sure what to do. I'm getting burnt out already. Any advice?

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
