Why does it irk you so

I love the DCUM projection in every thread.

OP never said they were irked. They pointed out a legitimate wrong. I don’t do business with people who don’t know business.

OP was moved to start a thread. OP is clearly irked.

There’s tens of thousands of reasons to ask for an understanding. are you not very smart? Maybe learn emotions are a spectrum, sweetheart.

DP. I think it is you that isn't very smart.

I use “founder.” Like OP, I don’t understand using CEO for a small business but then I also don’t let it bother me.

I have a regulator-required board, and CEO my official title. But we're a tiny company! Maybe it just depends on the industry

We had someone running for Virginia senate down here near Norfolk who ran ads saying he was the ceo of a government contracting business and I looked it up online and he had TWO employees!

Are they required by the government to have a board and ceo structure? Sometimes it's easier too win contacts that way.

This reminds me of an acquaintance who fell for It Works and called herself an entrepreneur and girl boss.

I feel like these are the same people who use the word “Enterprises” in the name of their business

It happens. Worst is when cling-ons want a big title and do basically nothing.
