Yes, even in Poland.
However it has nothing to do with IBM CE or field engineer. It was just
inadequate title. It could be colonel (also inadequate).
BTW: I saw "Spies Like Us" and remember the greeting. "Doctor - doctor.
Doctor - doctor ...and doctor". :-)
In Poland it is typical to call the physician per "doctor", despite of
their range.
And of course we have Ph.D. degree which is above M.Sc. Usually Ph.D. is
also lecturer at some university.
BTW: this is waaaay of topic. However the topic itself was rather
off-topic.

A doctor doesn’t necessarily mean a medical doctor. Many disciplines offer
doctoral degrees.

No, it is not offensive to use proper names and descriptions.
I respect IBM CE work, however I'm not going to call them "doctor".
Guess why.
BTW: I also respect plumbers, nurses, teachers, bus drivers, application
programmers, etc.
Last but not least I presented Polish rules for naming engineers,
technicians, MSc's etc. I fully respect fact that US rules may be
different and even the rules may be different by state as speed limits.
From the other hand, common definitions usually are better than mess.
Especially when the definitions are clear and consistent.
