associates

One of the four positions I have in the queue is an “associate.” I assume it pays low and they prefer a young ‘un. On the bright side, I’ve already been contacted about one of my national applications.

Beware of companies that call their employees “associates” or “team members.” This is a cheap way of making them feel valued without paying them.

The only thing worse is a cute name like “Apple guru:” or “network ninja”. On the overhand “Owner” and “Landlord” have a yeomanlike sturdiness to them, and are to be desired.
