It’s been discussed here in the past. But, this is the worst I’ve seen for title inflation.

“Social ACD - Minimum 3-5 years of experience preferred”

Like, that’s still mid-level, right?

Correct.

It’s so the agency can bill clients for a legitimate ACD salary while paying the candidate a midlevel one; pocketing the difference as profit.

The midlevel candidates who apply are just thrilled to be able to jump to an ACD title.

They’ll be in for a rude awaking though when they get fired from their next job b/c they’ll have zero clue how to perform at an ACD level.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
