I think it's one of those things in Canada where nothing happens until a complaint has been filed. Having said that, even though my job title is "Platform Engineer," as somebody with a CS degree living in Canada, I avoid using it when I'm away from the web, lest it prompt somebody to complain against my employer.
- corresation 13y agoMCSE was renamed in Canada, thanks to the Quebec case as well as intense pressure from Professional Engineering associations across Canada. I addressed this in another post, but this is not true. Microsoft temporarily advised holders to use the abbreviation instead of the full name, but then reverted to the full name (see my other post on this for a story on this from the PEO themselves). Years later they changed the whole program to "IT Professional" worldwide in a new marketing push to split the development track from the administration track. I think it's one of those things in Canada where nothing happens until a complaint has been filed. The Professional Engineering groups have absolutely no success in trying to coopt the dictionary, nor should they.
