Today, my supervisor gave me a grand introduction as I met the CEO for the first time. He introduced me as, "Employee number zero." FML

OP here. I don't work in programming. I teach weapons safety courses and coach people while shooting on the range. The only thing that came to mind when my supervisor said this was the center ring on the targets. Maybe I am wrong, but I took this as I should be shot at.

Well if you're in tech, 0 indicates the first item of a list, or the validity of something. Take it as a compliment

If you are a long-time employee (such as before the company had "employee numbers"), it's a compliment.

If you think it could be for the center ring in the targets maybe he was saying you're a good shot?

As most CEO's anymore didn't get to where they are without great leadership, I would imagine that he didn't find it funny. Your boss likely was spoken to regarding it making him look like a fool.

2 is better than 3. 1 is better than 2, and 0 is better than 1. BAM! Mathematical. We are all reaching for numbers in the negatives.

Agent Zero is also the Asian expert marksman dude from X-men Origins: Wolverine... Maybe he was making a reference to that?
