Internet as an art

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.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

It is so customers can feel good about working with a VP for their personalized service.

Hierarchy theater.

Very very much a thing in Finance, with tiers of VP too (Assistant VP, VP, Senior VP). Even for people doing internal support, it makes the internal "customer" feel good.

It was a learning experience when I was told not to prioritize anyone below SVP.

It's often also used as a compensation aid when someone has maxed out their pay band or title but there isn't a management slot open or they don't want to do management. My team doesn't have titles for team leads, but all our "unofficial" ones have at least an "Assistant" VP title.

“Assistant VP” or “Assistant to the VP”? lol
