Job Titles
Singaporeans are very into their titles. Their job titles, that is.
Even though the company pays peanuts, it’s ok. As long as at the end of their title, there is a “MANAGER”, they’ll be happy as a lark. Even if they don’t have people to manage, they are still called managers. It’s all about face, I tell ya.
For example, let me ask you this.
What do you call a person who takes care of your garden? A “GARDENER” right?
Here, they call it “LANDSCAPING ENGINEER”. Apparently, Gardener is too lowly sounding?
Best hor????
What do you call a person who prepares sandwiches at a fast food restaurant? Well, at most, nothing right? Hahaha! OK, usually it’ll be outlet supervisor or rep or something like that.
Here, it’s “SANDWICH ARCHITECT”!
Pretty soon, there’ll be a “Plumbing fixture and disposal system for the disposal of the bodily wastes: urine and fecal matter ARCHITECT” as opposed to Janitor.
Or, “Substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue ARCHITECT” as opposed to Waitress.
