Credentials in signatures
Mar 4, 2021, 9:33 AM
|

Most understand it's dooshey to put your credentials in your signature, like:
Regards,
John Smith, BS, MBA Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
A lot of times it goes along with some equally hokey saying afterwards. I saw one the other day that somebody wrote "have a great day" in Latin. Of course, he was a infosec guy. I hate those guys.
I just saw a new one though--an email that his credentials were part of his actual display name in an email:
To:clmsntgr@oldusername.com From: Smith, John BS, MBA
Subject: Doosheyness to a new level
This means he either administers his own email solution where he gets to choose his display name, or he made some poor admin put that "MBA" in there in there for him.
Either way, I've never seen that level of dooshrockethood over a Strayer degree.

And if you have a masters, why the BS? Isn’t that assumed? Unless you want to make sure people don’t think you have a useless BA.
Everyone I work with at job #2 has a PhD but me and the office manager so I have MS on mine so folks will know I’m the one that actually works around here.

I see it more with the nursing and clinical type folks, but that just may be because of the groups I deal with occasionally.

difference. I used to work at a hospital, and all the nurses I've worked with swore they were smarter than the doctors.
I worked at a power plant years ago and the welders that would come in during shutdowns were like that. They were all smarter than the "stupid engineers". I saw how smart they were one day when we had to cut out a whole section of superheater tubes that one of them had welded in using chain link fence posts.

The M.ASCE means he is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers as far as I can tell. That isn't a credential, it is a group you pay to be a part of. That blew my mind.

no need unless it's a part of a legal business document, where a CPA or PE credential is a requirement. Not in regular informal e-mails.
Like putting your diploma on your office wall, I've never understood that. Even doctors. You wouldn't be able to have a practice if you didn't have a medical degree....I really don't need to see it displayed on your wall.

I have my actual signature on my Epic signature, so it looks like I've actually signed notes in charts. Boom next level. Douchery? Unquestionably.
I also have my med school diploma and surgery residency diploma hanging on the wall in my office. I spent 10 years working on those two things and I have them on the wall because I'm proud of them. Eat it.
