What's in a Job Title?

What IS in a job title?  I have mixed feelings after receiving the news today, that due to a new directive at work, I'll be losing my hard-earned title of Technical Director; and plummeting all the way back down to something I was way back when I started.  Once again, it shows how little the company values us as people, and how our work really doesn't mean much to them.

Well, I guess this will just enable me to continue to "fly under the radar" and maintain relative anonymity.  Fortunately, I don't place high importance to job titles; but still, it is somewhat a jolt to the self-esteem and a bit of a motivation damper.  Who knows what motivated such a directive from upper management; but, it does not bolster any confidence in their decisions.  I can't imagine that this is a decision that would be well-received by anyone.

No matter what, I know that I am still the same person doing the same work.   My worth is not tied into the job title; for my worth comes from my Creator, and that will never change.  Amen.
