So Your Boss Offered You a Meaningless Promotion"She's a vice president," my manager chided me in front of guests. "She just doesn't give herself credit with the title." This was after I had introduced myself as a director, which was my actual title. For months, my manager had insisted that I use the title of vice president in my email signature, my LinkedIn profile, and when introducing myself to external parties. |
