Is the term "CEO" overused?

Seems like every Tom, Dick, and Harry who started their own mom and pop shop calls themselves a "CEO" these days. Should there be A revenue minimum on using that term?

If they're the Chief Executive Officer then they can call themselves that. What does money have to do with it?

It's a title to a position that is held for every single business. How could it be overused? Do you find that the word "business" is also overused?

Here's what I've noticed on LinkedIn: if you're just some buster with $125 to register an LLC you call yourself a CEO, if you're really ballin' you downplay it. I know a guy who owns a bunch of car dealerships whose title is "salesman." The exception is if you're actually a CEO of a company that has such a structure.

This right here.
You either see the the prize and strive to obtain it, or you whine because you cannot reach it so it's unfair.
A guy with one leg just climbed Everest. Meanwhile Bernie supporters are crying because they do not have the perks of a six figure job without going out and putting in the actual work and sacrifices in order to obtain such a job.
OP sounds like he is mad that the guy making 50-70k with his own business has better title despite having relative income. Grow up, if they are the CEO they are the CEO. Whether the company is worth 30k or 30 mil.

I've noticed the same. Makes them look foolish.

Not nearly as over used as "tax write off."
I can tolerate CEO but when someone starts talking about how they drive whatever kind of car they drive because "it's a tax write off" I want to smash them in the mouth.

You'd be surprised what some of these businesses call their head officer. My favorite so far has been "Chief Master and Commander".

Ha. I know someone who legit turned down a promotion because it would put them in a new tax bracket.

Vice President is a much more overused term.
Not unusual these days to see companies running around with ten 26-year-old "Vice Presidents of Sales" so that their email sig makes them look more important to the potential client. In reality, they're sales reps or sales team managers.
It used to be that there was 1 VP for each facet of the company. Maybe there'd be an associate VP as well.
Nowadays "Vice President" is like middle management. Next up the ladder is "Sr. Vice President" and then you've got "Executive Vice President."
