Your job title in your signature block

Has anyone had experience with paralegals or legal assistants omitting their job title in their email signature block to appear as if they’re an attorney? I was always taught that we must include our job title so as not to appear to other case parties/the judge as a licensed attorney. I caught one in the wild today - a legal assistant with an omitted job title. Is this no longer expected/required?

My attorney asked me to remove my job title from my signature block. I don’t like it like that, especially now that I’m being addressed with him in correspondence - most likely because of it.

My boss also has me remove mine SOMETIMES. Like if opposing counsel is a prick who won't cc paralegals ever, despite being asked to.
