What’s in the name?
Earlier this week, I was assigned to design a logo and a business card for my employer’s new business (yeah, I know. DO NOT BLOG about your employer or any dirty details), a biotech company. My thought is, does a job designation title relevant to us now?
Some would prefer to have a simple title to their job, others might prefer the “exclusiveness” of having that certain title on their namecard. But is it relevant for the new generation of 9 to 5-ers?
There’s a bunch of people that I know who could care less about what their job needs to be labeled as. I have a friend who works as a 3D designer, but puts on his namecard as a Artificial Life Destroyer. There’s this dude who works at a nearby McDonalds, now runs his own CNI biz, calls himself a Managing Pusher. I’d like to title myself as Director of Eyebags on my personal namecard.
The job title nowadays, seems to be more “multi-tasked” than it was 10 years ago. There are more companies who would hire workers who has multiple skills and able to cope with the ever changing work space. There are even companies who just want to cut some corners in their cash flow by hiring workers who can do more than one thing & in return, being paid with a fat paycheck. But does, specific, narrowed job scope really matters nowadays? After all this talk about globalisation & free trade agreements, it seems to me in another 10 years time, everybody would call themselves “money-making whores”. Weird.
