Job Title Inflation to Rise

It's great to be awarded a more impressive title during these interesting economic times. However, as a Career Management Professional specializing at the senior level, I question what this is going to do for the employees career future when the time comes to seek a new opportunity. It could be dangerous!

There are certain responsibilities attached with titles, and if a title above the responsibilities for the position are granted, can that person fulfill those responsibilities or have they been shielded simply because of these intriguing times?

PAY

I have always wondered about this. If the companies concerned would lay aside monies for possible hard times ahead, they might not have to give out better titles, but instead give the money to where it belongs.Titles don;t make money nor prestige.If prestige was so important and also responsible, maybe they would one day become government upper echelon like senators or congressmen. They get automatic payraises and retirement incomes at 100% of their present saley for life.
