every time i get one of these that I didnt ask for, what its really doing is confirming for me that a shitload of people who call themselves "ceo" and "founder" who didnt really start a company and just gave themselves that title have thrown in the towel and "this is where they ended up"

@Viss Anyone who is the "CEO" of either a vauge company idea or an actual company with a headcount under five (if not higher) sounds very full of themselves.

My company is only sorta official, but I specifically use a fun job title because it's both more interesting and also doesn't sound like I wish I had an MBA.

@redbassett i am TECHNICALLY a "ceo" of a company with under five people.

ai6yr,

@Viss So, they were in charge of companies that foundered?

@ai6yr *floundered :D

they were the CEO of their own business card

ai6yr,

@Viss I was never pretentious enough to put CEO on mine, just Founder.

@ai6yr i thought it was somewhat disengenuous to say i was a 'ceo' of a company whos full time staff can be counted on one hand

@joy recruiters from fb/google/etc would poke me from time to time because my linkedin profile (i think the place is radioactive and only check it a couple times a month for messages) says im a founder - they think i'm one of THOSE types and they try to bat their corporate eyelashes at me with some kinda midlevel IT or security position.

when i get super excited about getting acquired and ask why M&A isnt cc'ed they panic.

it was fun for a while, but it didnt scale so i gave up
