wyntir_knightI got to talking with the Executive Assistant and the Administrative Assistant in my office today. We were just chatting away as the tech support guys updated our systems and the topic of titles came up.
See my Big Boss' title is Assistant Secretary, and, to the uninitiated, this sounds like his assistant outranks him. What can I say? Treasury Board is a strange place with even stranger titles.
The whole conversation got me to thinking. Do you realize that only 30 short years ago the Big Boss would have been called a Director, and all three of us minions (EA, AA, and Receptionist) would have been called Secretaries. ... and we would have all hung out in a Pool.
How things change ...
