A recent newspaper display advert by Bayleys under the heading
“Strategic Appointment”. Introduced an employee as,
“The National Head of Occupier Strategy and Solutions”
That farcical mouthful of meaningless verbiage relates to a job formerly known as Leasing Manager.
Fun awaits. Try calling Bayleys and ask to speak to the National Head of Occupier Strategy and Solutions. The bewildered receptionist will tell you, you have the wrong number.
Do it again and she’ll threaten to call the Police.
Ring a third time and ask for the Leasing Manager and she’ll put you straight through.

Long names are fashionable.
Good morning - You have reached The Parliamentary Switchboard, can I ask who/whom do you wish to speak to?
Yes, can you put me through to the Department of Popular Commentary for
Lack of thought, progressive dialogue and dismissive digression?
I am sorry caller but we do not happen to have a Department with that title.
Oh well try the PM's Office in stead.
Certainly caller, your phone call is being diverted and will be in the first instance answered by the Third Secretary for the Chief Bullshitter.
At least the grandiose titles are not in te reo. The Ministry of Maori Word contrivance or wahtever they are called in te reo would be challenged by even Lease Manager.
