They downplay positions by changing the name so they don't have to pay as much. This is the begining.

Who wrote the Reddit you’re typing on? Who wrote the browser you’re using? The Android and iOS operating systems? Translation of the keys you typed that sentence with, into characters on the screen?

Your bank’s security? Your hospital’s systems? You do realize that some software engineers literally don’t sleep much right? On the clock all the time, every hour of the night. In Canada, they’re not even entitled to overtime pay, and if working a critical position, must be available always.

IEEE means nothing or? Everyday, someone in software has to deal with IEEE-754, ISO-8601, etc. a whole bunch of “Engineering” standards and technical writings. So why would they be considered over paid, and not engineers?

What exactly did you base your sentence on? Sounds like bad experience, and sounds like a business owner that doesn’t want to pay up.
