Fancy Corporate Job Title Doesn’t Mean Much

Your name card shouldn’t identify you as a whole.

Working at a prominent company gives numerous perks, including having a name card with the job title you can flash to new people you meet.

Similar to how people recognize a famous person, handing over your corporate name card gives immediate credentials. It’s a great feeling until you realize that you are just borrowing the name value of the corporation instead of having your own establishment.

I have seen many of my friends who had their name cards from these “well-known” companies that gave them a higher self-confidence-which is great-until they realized they were just another employee at the workplace.

And one smart move the company does is that most of them label their employee with a fancy job title because of how other’s may perceive them. So in a way, it’s a win-win situation for both the employer and the company because it raises the value of an individual and the company as a whole.

Corporate hierarchy doesn’t seem to end internally, but also externally. In my opinion, the idea that we value an individual by their corporate job title should stop.
