"Staff Engineer"

There's a guy on staff that's got no college, but has managed to get himself into a position of import. He likes to call himself 'Staff Engineer'. According the IEEE that title should be reserved for people with the following credentials;
  • Graduation with an Engineering degree from an ABET/EAC accredited program of engineering (or equivalent*), coupled with sufficient experience in the field in which the term, Engineer, is used; and/or
  • Licensure by any jurisdiction as a Professional Engineer.
  • A degree from a foreign institution (or the total education when a person holds a graduate degree in engineering but no accredited B.S. in engineering) can be evaluated through a service offered by ABET."
He has none of these.
I don't even use that fuckin title and I have a BS in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. It's like me going thru medical school but never taking the final test then going to work with some dood that calls himself "Doctor" and everyone else just drinks the koolaid and calls him "Dr" too.

These are things that piss me off.

I can't wait to move to Vegas. At least I'll be there in about 24 hours.
