tomski Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Been having this discussion with @Lenny with a y and @Ghana White why are people saying such silly things at work: piece (for anything) BAU WIP DOD (still working it out) Can you fall out with someone who needlessly uses Acronyms ? Quote

stevieb Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 'Agile' IT twats are the worst for it. They've got their own little smug language us commoners aren't allowed to understand. And they're usually on massive day rates for delivering fuck all. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 These are painful but there are some that are industry specific. I guess we have things like CPM, SEM, Specs, SEO, IO which are used all the time and I assume other industries have their shorthands for things. Quote
