Email signatures: Adding the suffix 'MBA' is very telling
- TallGuyShort 17y ago>> GPHR – Global Professional in Human Resources If I worked with someone who gave themselves that suffix, I'd be forced to mock them by referring to them as "The Gopher" during meetings with a serious look on my face. "Yes, sir, I think we should have the Gopher get on that one right away!" Seriously though - all too often people who get certifications wave their title around like mad, when they really aren't that useful.
- ggchappell 17y agoIt occurred to me while reading this: When I choose a doctor, I am not so much interested in his degree; I am interested in whether he is licensed to practice medicine. After all, it is perfectly possible to have an MD degree, but not be licensed. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any standard abbreviation for "licensed to practice medicine". Insterestingly, the corresponding abbreviation does exist for other fields. For example, CPA is not a degree; it's a license (right?) to be an accountant.
