Someone at VML introduced himself as a CEO to a set of newly met clients. Turns out the actual title of this pretentious “CEO” is Chief Experience Officer. Clients found out through an intern hours later and weren’t happy about it. Anyone came across other dumber titles?

I see what’s going on here. He is CEO of VML Enterprise Solutions which seems to be like a more elevated title than global chief experience officer. So he is a CEO but not in the traditional sense since it seems like what he is overseeing focus on experience

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
