Especially because a lot of these VP titles are what we call 'business card promotions', most common in the sales area.

At my old company all of our business development guys had VP on their business card, but they were just managers like me for all intents and purposes, including pay.

I'm surprised the practice persists though. It's not like everyone isn't sort of in on the joke at this point.

Also great for telling grandparents you're the VP of xyz bank also acceptable to drop the title if you're tech, look like a complete hippy and are taking shit for it.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
