Acronyms in work or generally really

[reddishblue]

I've had enough of them. When someone quotes you one and you don't know what it means I now ask "what does that mean" and await response. I recommend you all do it.

My mate got pissed at a sales meeting (we work for a v large multinational).

The european sales manager had been talking for ages about sales tecniques, it was just a stream of TLA's. It was bullshit. eventually he asked the audience if they had any techniques to share. My pissed mate stands up and says he has had a lot of success using the SMS technique. The manager picks up his pad and pen and ready to take notes. Whats the SMS technique he asks. My mate say its the Sell More Stuff technique and sits down.

I do that as well, especially when it is in the papers that have been distributed to the meeting. Now they type all the words. In Education there are new ones every day it seems.
