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.

Depending on your field a title only promotion still has value. It allows the person to put "Senior Whatever" on their resume instead of "Junior Whatever" when they start applying for jobs that pay what their worth in six months.
Most companies care about actual experience (years and past duties) when making hiring decisions. They only consider previous titles and salary when they think they it'll help them negotiate a lower salary.
