This person says that job titles are bullshit (I agree, generally), but expressed many reasons why they care strongly about job titles

Isn’t this contradictory?

surprisingly common to find oneself caring strongly about bullshit

  • Yeah, quite so, but that is probably not a rational state of mind to keep up for the long term. OP sounds like they are caught in such a contradictory viewpoint: they hate that everyone cares about job titles, yet they themselves care strongly about job titles

    For e.g. “I quite like knowing where folks sit on the org chart compared to me”, & puzzling over the ‘meaning’ of “senior” in a job title!
