Official idiocy
Warwick Varney asks that we don’t print his company name, so he can be mistaken for the other Warwick Varneys in IT businesses in the UK, but we’ll indulge him because of the pleasure we get from his name.
He encloses literature inviting him to a presentation by BT employee Dr Nicola Millard. “Have any fellow Backbyters come across more pointless or pretentious job titles?” he asks.
It’s a question worth asking, because Dr Millard sets the bar quite high. She is known as BT’s “customer experience futurologist”.
“I’m assuming they only have one,” he says, although we think the person who says: “Please hold the line, we will deal with your call as soon as possible,” might arguably be described as having the same job.
Sort through those business cards and send us some real-life pretentious job titles please.
Hey - but you did publish his company before in backbytes: http://backbytes.computing.co.uk/2004/09/anticipate_to_a.html
