The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 19, 2022

Rancid: nomen omen .

The new MOW guy. Catchy… Do business cards comes with that chief?

Forget the office title!! Just grab that bag of $$$ and go back to your cubicle!! Cash is always more rewarding!!

/SHMIRK/

Well, if you dress it up a little, I would go for BEST Mediocre office worker Thornapple.

Go on, take the money and run.

I believe that Brutus is the Chairman Of Stupid.

One company I was at, the “official” titles were unintelligible to anyone outside the company (I was an SMTS III, Senior Member of Technical Staff Level III). When we got cards, the manager said we could put any title we wanted on there, yet he refused my choice (“director of intergalactic sales”).

GOAT, greatest of all Time. The greatest of what can change from day to day but most days The Greatest Of All Time Born Loser!

show me the money. you can call me whatever you like…

ya sure office clown won’t be a better title for him? He seems to be in a lot of his jokes. :)

Where I work – Mediocrity…the pay’s the same & the effort’s less

hey, MOW….hey Larry

How about Chief Whipping Boy? Or, Insultee-At-Large?

Brutus constantly asks for it! He should just go on ahead and do his tasks and later for what Veeblefester thinks because he’s going to think what he wants to, anyway! That’s why he’s the boss!

Careful what you ask for, you might just get it….

I can’t see how he stands the “boss” and working there.

Better than SCAPEGOAT…

I’m surprise he didn’t suggest ‘still has a job Thornapple’.

You lifted for your boss a perfect ball to swat. :-)

If he weren’t a born loser, he would have shown up with a title to suggest with two backups. But no, Brutus had to step right in it.

Brutus, the fact that Rancid considers you a mediocre office worker indicates he has a much higher opinion of you than was expected.

Is drudge already taken?

Alternate response from Veeblefester: “Great idea, Thornapple, you should have a title! But first . . . what exactly is it you do here?”

Aside from your business cards, Brutus (which, knowing Veeblefester, you don’t have), there are three places where you want your title: your email signature, your resume and your LinkedIn profile. Do it yourself and leave the boss out of the loop. That’s what I did when I felt my title wasn’t living up to my actual responsibilities.
