That moment you realize someone in your company hierarchy has the title of "Senior Vice President," but there is no President or Junior VP anywhere in the company. (lemmy.world)

🤦‍♀️ What is the purpose of this pretentious meaningless title bullshit anyway?

From my experience this silliness is due to corporations constantly 'restructuring' in an attempt to make more profit by cost cutting.

I'm pretty confident that in almost every case you see a senior when there is no corresponding junior, it's because they decided to make a position redundant.

More likely is that positions were created to retain valuable employees by making "new" positions for them that come with a raise. I've seen this happen several times in the last 2 big company jobs I've worked
