What does the fine print on the business card say?  Kinda hard to read that small, yet I suspect that is your punch line.

"Yay! Fake Promotion." Who ever thought that people would get a moral boost by everyone having a fancy title should be killed by a thousand business card cuts.

Let's see now... how does it go?

"We trained hard ... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization"

...and he was AD 27-66, which just goes to prove that there's nothing new under the sun, really!

I worked for a company that was stable until they hired a new CEO.    He kept reorganizing and I kept changing cards, until I decided on a minimalist card.  Company name, my name, "Specialist", email, phone.      Shortly after that they changed the company name.
