So

So I get this email with this job description. I honestly thought I had seen it all when it comes to job description fluff, I was wrong. This thing was like nothing I have ever experienced. After I read it once I seriously thought that someone used the the buzzword generator for every single word in it. This thing had to be a joke, I still think it is a joke. No one in their right or wrong mind would write something like that. Every single sentence in the description was nonesensical garbage. For example, the third word in the description was Director of Employee Relations. What in thee fuck is that. Maybe I am being a bit harsh, but I've never heard of that title before. What in the hell would that person do. It doesn't end there, the next sentence gave me this nugget of a new title Director of Organization Effectiveness. Two sentences in and I am about to shit my pants(I still can't believe this is real). It went on and on and got worse and worse. I'm pretty sure this piece made me stupider Champion of the Leadership Talent Building and Succession initiative. I'll admit that when the word champion is used in title contexts that don't have to do with sports I hate it, I've heard it done before but this was overkill. Every time I read the whole description I scratch my head, this cannot be real. You read one sentence and think ok that is just the usual corporate fluff, you figure everyone has a sentence or two like that, but then you keep reading and every single got damn sentence is a product of the buzzword generator. I've been rather terse in my blog entries recently mainly because I've been tired of thinking and nothing really has moved me. I just can't let something like this slide though, this is ludicrous. I still can't believe the description is real. I'd be ashamed to be associated with such a job description. Whoever wrote it, tried way too hard, or was playing some kind of joke on people. It takes me back to my days at MBNA, which I laugh about even more of now because of the things going on there now. ha.
