He is on a high designation. Is it correct?

Hi, Tufguy!

Don't use any form of the word designate. It makes no sense there. You can look it up to learn what it means.

I wonder if the word tufguy wanted to use was "distinguished".

I suspect he might actually mean 'designated', but he should be able to clarify himself. The guy could have a high designation, eg. Vice President.

Okay, so "he had a high designation in his office" or "he was highly valued in his office". Are these sentences correct?

As I hinted, rather blatantly I thought, that would depend on what you mean by 'designation'. I also suggested that you should be the one who clarifies what you meant by 'designated'. Let's have that first.

By designation I mean the post that he holds at his work place. The post he is working on at the moment.

Yes, they're OK. The first is still a little weird. "He ranked highly in his office."

It's still a little awkward. We'd be more likely to say that he:

- holds a senior position.
- is in upper management.
- holds an executive position.
- has a corner office.

"He held a senior position". "He had a corner office".

Are these sentences correct? "The post that he holds at his work place. The post he is working on at the moment."

Can you tell me why neither of those fragments is a sentence?

What parts of speech are required in a sentence?

Tufguy, say:

He held a senior position at the company.

Or:

He was a top executive at the company.

If he, in fact, had a corner office you could say that. (The corner offices go to the highest ranking executives.)
