    "staff"?
    Why not just call them "headcount"?

    The radio at work is playing some jazz rendition of one of the songs from the original Willy Wonka movie. Which has reminded me just how creepy that movie is. Horror movie for children!

    Ok.

    Sorry.

    EDIT: I HOPE it doesn't need to be said, but I was totally joking, by the way. The topic grosses me out as well! ...It is just so out there, that I can't help but laugh about it. :P

    New Rule: Companies have to stop using the word "associate" in job titles. It doesn't convey any useful information at all about the job!

    usually something like

    assistant
    associate
    senior

    it basically means you aren't bitch tier but you aren't pro tier either

    This seems like it's pro tier, but I almost didn't apply because the title sounded bitch tier.

    All the scrubs at my joint are "Associates". "Analysts" is the overly broad mid level

    Also Senior is typically a modifer so you can have Senior Associates, but not really a title in and of itsAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH EVERYTHING ABOUT HIRING IS TERRIBLE.

    oh yeah, there is that

    so like senior associate means you are underneath protier but above mid-tier

    it's basically, assistant manager in layman's terms

    really, the most important thing is what comes after that

    so i am assistant in planning

    what this actually means is that i do everything else anyone on my team does related to planning but also a bunch of bitch tier work

    will be moving into associate soon enough

    "overhead staff" was the official terminology at my management consulting job for anybody who wasn't a consultant

    consequently, it was also the unofficial terminology for everybody the executives hated and wished they could replace with machines

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    See I have "analyst" thrown on the end of my title (Senior programmer/analyst) to differentiate from programmer development (where there's no senior title, but if you don't want to go management you could theoretically go Computer Scientist). There are no straight up analysts.

    this is literally the only way i can get one of my dogs to listen to me when i tell him to leave the old dog alone. NOTHING else works. well except maybe offering a treat but i'm not going to reward that behavior.

    I post Makeup stuff and Schnauzers on instagram.

    "Associate" is just a ranking term, like "private" or "warrant officer"

    It doesn't mean anything on it's own, it just indicates where you are on the food chain

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    It's a very bizarre system, associate is the lowest of 6

    there are 0 people with the highest title

    If you like dumb yahoo answers, you might want to listen to My Brother My Brother and Me.
    They have their listeners send in yahoos and then answer them, except the dumbest, that is the episode closer.
    In between they do listeners questions, which are of a slightly higher level.
