You mean the people that get loads of free sh*t and mostly don't have to leave their house to get paid?

The most ridiculous job is the person that has to put them small stickers on bananas.

You probably work in a bullshît role if you’ve a title that isn’t anyways reflective of what you do in your job. So being called an architect when you aren’t an architect, an engineer who isn’t an engineer, a consultant who doesn’t consult.

A Cold Caller or the fancy term 'Sales Consultant'.

I’m a Web Developer. I develop websites. The job isn’t ground breaking, and the title makes sense.

A couple of years ago, someone decided to rename us “Experience Engineers”. Which to me sounds more like someone who would design a theme park. Now they’re looking to change us to “Web Architects”, which I think are the people who tell spiders what to do.

Titles aside, I think the most useless job is door to door cold callers. Has anyone ever complained that there weren’t enough people calling at their door during dinner offering electricity or broadband? I think society would function perfectly well without them.

That lot cut their teeth standing beside the coin baskets on the M50 toll bridge before the automation.

People who give the QA dept a hard time cos they want to get the product out quicker. Heaven forbid a bad batch gets sent to a customer.

In general - the most ridiculous job goes to people who think their job is more important than others.

Agree with you on the Engineer thing.
I deal with alot of "Engineers" from different firms in my line of work.The term Engineer is used very loosely these days.Alot of them are jumped up cleaners/general operatives.
