This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Remember that this can be an honest answer to ... by Barney68
the "why are you looking" question. Include your concern that your boss' approach may be limiting your career path in a way that makes it clear that it's not the word you're concerned about, it's how it will affect you in five years. Is he maneuvering to make it just a little harder for you to find the next step on the ladder?
Follow the advice below about how to say what your responsibilities are as a method for getting the point across that you have the job without the title.
Other than that, don't lie on a resume. Little to win, lots to lose.
