For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This is common in the financial industry. VP is just the next step up from associate. It's a pompous title, but it's not really some conspiracy.
I don't know if it's still true, but it definitely used to be that way at every local bank in the area where I worked 15 years ago. I did a lot of contract work for them and everyone was a VP.
I left JPMC in 2021 and that was the case even corporate side instead of retail. Same thing at Huntington Bank in 2013.
I kinda like that my email signature and card doesn't say my title. I like the small amount of mystery it creates for clients.
