I'm putting this together from memory. It appeared in our
writing department perhaps 20 years ago, and was widely accepted
as the correct set of job descriptions. Indeed, we actually
used it for aligning our brains with our planets when we were
instructed to write our own performance reviews.

Junior Technical Writer

Leaps small buildings with several false starts and scrambles.
Requires considerable assistance from above and below.

Technical Writer

Leaps tall buildings in a single bound. Occasionally provides
assistance to others.

Senior Technical Writer

Leaps the tallest buildings every time. Instructs others in
the art of bounding.

Principal Technical Writer

Leaps entire blocks of buildings, and is considered the high
priest of bounding. Provides assistance to all, whenever needed.
Counsels others, within and outside the writing department, on
special leaping and bounding projects.

Ex Technical Writer

Buildings leap over him. Ignores considerable assistance from
above and below.
