The company I worked for had, at one time, over 100 thousand employees. In their corporate structure there were very few vice presidents, but the next title down was a few dozen “directors”, which was a very powerful position. But outside the company, nobody respected the title, so they began to rename the titles. In a short time they had three hundred “vice presidents”. In one organization chart was a v.p. who reported to a v.p. who reported to a v.p., after which the title meant very little more than “manager”.
(Remember “secretaries”? Then they became “administrative assistants”, then they got eliminated as the vice presidents were expected to type their own emails and fetch their own coffee.)
