I work in sysops. My employer won't even consider a new hire without at least two different certificates (not licenses) which use the word "engineer" in them. I know a number of coworkers who refer to themselves as engineers but only hold a certificate to acknowledge this. Others have the term "engineer" in their title at work, and again no license. Glad to see that the English language is being defended and not being used for what is clearly state sanctioned bullying. Maybe I should start using the term engineer...
