    Has anyone here ever been called Code Monkey? I was talking to a system architect and he casually called me a "Code Monkey". BTW that guy works for another outfit. Developers are not respected where I work either. At my shop I have been called a "Worker Bee".

    Our CEO calls us "code workmen" (the Italian word used defines unskilled work), and it's a software company. You know what? She's right - I'm a simple workman so I take no responsibility. No credit also, but that's ok with me.

        Do you enjoy what you do? Do you get paid for it? Do you really care what someone else calls you?

          As long as the check doesn't bounce, they can call me whatever they want.

                                    That needs a cheque with more zeroes before the decimal.

                                      No, I'm suggesting that it's not important to care what someone else calls you. If your sense of self-worth is invested purely in what someone else thinks of you or calls you, you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

                                        Do you really care what someone else calls you?

                                        depends on how insulting it is..

                                        Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians. Help end the violence EAT BACON

                                        I've had some very insulting names in my time - they don't affect who I am so why should I care about them?
