It's really funny,

we're starting to see

so many more titles coming in

that are "Creative Director"

or "Director of Innovation",

and I feel like our generation

is going to, kind of, see past that

and understand that every single employee

needs to have creativity

in everything that they do everyday,

that's this element of our work

that's been lost over the past 20 years,

and I think it's going to get integrated back in.

I don't know how to say this any other way,

but I hope every company around the world

gets rid of their H.R. departments

because it ruins communication and,

I'll start over and I'll try to think of an actual job,

but maybe you guys can help me.

What's a job that's like anti-H.R.?

Is there a job that's like anti-H.R.?

Ah, I don't know,

like master chopper,

like guillotine guy,

like "and you're done, like, leave".

I don't know of the anti-H.R. job.

Probably the easiest answer would be

the jack-of-all-trades guy.

Every company sort of has someone

in their company that they go to

for matters that there is no title for,

whether it's, "I have a communication issue,"

or, "I don't like the project I'm on right now."

And I feel like that sort of jack-of-all-trades job

has yet to really define itself,

but it will,

and when we know it, we'll see it.
