Consultants

[jcrossan]

why is everybody called a consultant these days. Go in to buy a tin of beans and the lass serving you is now a shopping consultant. Either that or a brand ambassador. Is it cos they never get a raise so instead get some daft new title? Just cos you open your trap to say 'that'll be two pound' doesn't mean you are consulting.

It's like everyone who does some skilled manual work is an engineer (e.g. heating engineer). Fancy title, pisses us real consultants off .

Doing a cursory job and then asking for money at the end of it only counts as consultancy if you ask for a LOT of money.

I'm an electrical consultant. I don't think its a recent title though. Couldn't give a toss about titles anyway.

I first read that as 'bread ambassador' and wasn't totally surprised.

People who come in after finishing college or university to see if working in a lab is for them without committing to a full training programme get put on the payroll as 'lab technicians' when they're anything but.
