Few industries match mine (Commercial Property) when it comes to bullshit job titles.

A recent newspaper display advert by Bayleys under the heading “Strategic Appointment” introduced an employee as, “The National Head of Occupier Strategy and Solutions”.

That farcical mouthful of meaningless verbiage relates to a job formerly known as Leasing Manager.

Ring a third time and ask for the Leasing Manager and she’ll put you straight through.
