    I was not aware of this phenomenon before today. Very interesting...

    Even so, chiefs are relatively rare compared with presidents and their various declensions (vice-, assistant-, etc). Almost everybody in banking from the receptionist upwards is a president of some sort. The number of members of LinkedIn, a professional network, with the title vice-president grew 426% faster than the membership of the site as a whole in 2005-09. The inflation rate for presidents was 312% and for chiefs a mere 275%.


    Too many chiefs

      Not sure why it's being claimed as a recent phenomenon; structure of banking titles has been constant for a number of decades.

          I now fear the day when one will be able to gain the title "greatest rapper alive" without having to murder the previous title-holder.

            Great! So now you get a week of vacation?

                  Why do Europeans take such pride in their poor work ethic?

                      In fact our lives are much better for less effort.

                      Because money doesn't make you happier, but time to spend on your personal relationships and other interests does.

                        Also having time off, doesn't = poor work ethic.

                        Our labour is so valuable people have to attract us by offering us generous terms of employment. WINNING.

                              I just work long days in the 4 I work, but being in a highly demanded and skilled area, I have that luxury. And still get ****loads of money for the privilege
