So they can look them up on a pay scale list and decide what they should be
paid. Had this problem at one place I was at where the pay scale list
thought a "System Administrator" or "Network Administrator" was somebody
who looked after 20 Windows desktops in an office and not network/machines
for a thousands of customers (as was the case) and thus paid about twice
as much.

I think the managers just argued with HR or reclassified everybody as a
"Network Architect" to solve the problem. Calling people "Engineers" was a
problem since half them didn't have degrees.
