A secretary is now an assistant (personally, I liked typing wench). Presumably, a garbage person is a waste technician, a plumber is just a crook (couldn't resist ) , etc. You definitely showed me, but to complete the drill, you will have to convince every newspaper in America to change the name of its principal section on jobs to something other than "Help Wanted". We can change the terminology, but it won't change the fact that a number of the line employees at CO, who deal directly with customers, are developing attitudes of the kind that will sink a good business.
