Re: Job Titles

[quills -at- airmail -dot- net]

HR has a real problem when it comes to organization and titles. I always
liked Grand Poohbah. It says as much as Technology Value Writer does.
There should be at least 3 levels if not 4. Those would be the
non-supervisory/management positions. Management positions should be
separate and, depending on the number of people in the group would be
either 1 or 2 levels. The workers need the granularity to differentiate
skills and longevity. The titles don't make much difference until you are
in management. Number them if you like.I would add to Mike's Senior Tech
Writer I and Senior Tech Writer II.
