I think with job titles, it's probably some sort of stigma/embarassment about being in a low-level job, but it's not like there's anything to be embarrassed about.
In business/media though I think it's an attempt to appear smarter than you are. You can go on about "we are streamlining our holistic strategising process" as much as you like, but it doesn't mean anything beyond "we are trying to work better".”
I agree totally. I remember the time when secretary's became PA's
My dads secretary was totally his right hand man as it were. She screened callers, made sure he remembered our birthdays especially my mums.she would remind him of important appointments, She was my Dads equivalent of Jeeves!!!!
As a result always had a high regard for secretary's. A very noble unsung position. Now when someone tells me they are a PA just think ok than..
