If you've ever worked with banks basically everyone with 5+ years experience is a VP. The guy that fixes the printer is VP of Technology and probably makes 35k per year

Your post reminds me of this classic about all of the junior vice presidents out there. I swear this describes half of the brahs in Chicago.
quote:
Look at my button down striped shirt! fricking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I’m coming home with some pussy tonight! That’s right! It’s been a long week at the office and it’s time to blow off a little steam! I am a Junior Vice President! I have business cards that say “Junior Vice President” on them! They’re glossy and magnificent! Here! Have one! Take it!
My boys are coming out with me tonight! They all have striped shirts too!
I figure we’ll kick off the night with some Golden Tee! I am going to smack the shite out of that little white ball! It’s going to be so fricking loud! I’ll bet I can drive that pretend golf ball 600 fricking yards tonight! I’m that fricking pumped!
I can almost taste those Jager Bombs right now! I fricking love Red Bull! I put it on my God damned cereal! I’m crushing one right now!
I’m thinking about buying a boat this year!
I’m gonna fight someone tonight! I pray to God someone makes eye contact with me! I will beat his arse! And God help him if he gets any blood on my striped shirt! If he does, I’ll scrub it out with his dick and some bleach! I mean it!
I’m gonna grind on girls asses tonight! You heard me! When I see a group of girls dancing in a circle, I will select the most attractive one and dry hump her until it hurts! I will rub my cock against her so that she can feel my throbbing hard on!
I will valet tonight!
I will treat the valet with contempt and make sure that he knows that I am superior to him in life! I will tell him to “Take it easy on the brakes, Champ”!
I will talk to people I don’t know about my job tonight! They will all know that I am an important man! I will call female bartenders “Babe” and male bartenders “Chief”!
When I do not hook up with a girl at that club, I will say that the place is “full of skanks”! We will wait in a long line to go to another bar only to strike out again!
I will give up and decide to order a gyro off of a street vendor! I will make fun of him to my friends for being foreign! I will look ridiculous purchasing my gyro because people will be able to tell by my striped shirt and tinted sunglasses that I struck out and am settling for a gyro!
I will make one last attempt to hook up by trying to coax two big girls who are also ordering gyros to coming back to my place for “after hours”! When they say no I will make fun of them for being fat! I will leave!
When I get home I will go to the bathroom and hold the straight razor to my wrist again! I will gently drag the razor laterally against my vein, making sure not to actually cut myself!
I will then go to my room and pass out! I will need some shut eye so that I’ll be ready to fricking party again tomorrow!

I work for a newly acquired subsidiary of Samsung. I have learned they have 500 some odd executive vice presidents and at leat 20 presidents. It's absurd.

We have 1 VP per department

As someone who audits small businesses on a decently regular basis, you'd be amazed with some of the titles they come up with for themselves.
I've had a grand universal overlord of janitorial nightmares before

It sounds like your company has no structure.

I work for a bank (of course I'm a VP) auditing small businesses.
My favorite title was "Chief Visionary Officer". The guy was a company founder, semi-retired, and did mainly lobbying in BR and DC.

I managed kids straight out of school for awhile. Even though their title was Account Executive, they'd get really liberal with their titles on LinkedIn and their email signatures.
Many of them self promoted themselves above my position and even my boss's.

I am the only person who isn't a VP on my current position. It's a pay grade thing.

Inflated titles give people more desire to be productive than money. It's cheaper too

Definitly not at the bank firm I work with. I know a guy whose worked with our firm for 35 years and he's still an AVP and he's pissed about it.
Actually, there were expertise he had that outpaced his boss and she freely admitted to that.

At an old job I had there was a Temp guy hired to help out in the Credit Department. Six months later he was a VP and had taken over Credit.

even then, an associate vice president sounds like a title that would have 10+ direct reports, not a worker bee

there are 5 VPs in my ~60 person department. seems excessive IYAM.
So each VP could run an 11 person team? Doesn't seem excessive at all.

We are a team. All of us are equal. We all want to get the job done to the best of our ability. The AVP handles billions of dollars of transactions a day as BAU by himself. He's the only person in the firm with that BAU expertise.
