So Ms. I've got twenty something initials behind my name....
"resigned" yesterday and security was nice enough to help her get her stuff out of the hospital.

:shrug:

I'm thinking that she was probably overcompensating for her lack of something by putting literally more initials behind her name than anyone I've ever seen and way more than would have been considered appropriate by most.

That's not why she's gone.

She's gone because she apparently wasn't too good at her job and had complaints from the people in a hospital you don't want pissed at you. Physicians and the board.

Oh well, good luck and all!

Security was nice helping her and all don't you think? :sarcasm:

1. I dealt with someone like that once

He thought that because he could put a string of initials after his name that he was somebody importante. We got into one day and I left him standing there with his mouth open when I told him "I've always wanted to meet a pretentious prig and now I can say that I have."

2. The alphabet soup syndrome.
The more pretentious and insecure and incompetant you are..the more you insist on using as many titles as possible to emphasize yourself.
The smartest person I ever worked with had plenty but he couldn't stand even being called "Dr". Wanted everyone to call him by his first name..Said even "Doctor" seemed pretentious to him...

4. Yes...
This lady would walk out of meetings if she got mad, said she had two master's degrees and didn't need to have her intelligence insulted. Well now she was walked out.

:rofl:
