For me, far and away, it's S.O.P.

Whenever I hear it, I know I'm going to have to jump through unnecessary hoops that are going to slow down efficiency going forward...

All of them, speak like an educated adult and say WTH you mean. Acronym's don't make you sound smart, that make you sound lazy.

Pretty much all of them. I especially hate when somebody uses one in an email then explains what the acronym means in parentheses.

Not acronyms, but stupid pointless conference calls at the same time I'm trying to do actual work.

was forced to listen to a zoom call that my wife was on with one of her clients last week, heard a new one, "ask," " my ask is that," their ask is..." it's like they try to create a secret language out of regular words, just talk like a normal person, asswipe

ETA: lost count of how many "lean intos," and "at the end of the days" that were used

POTS

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

Usually very frustrating to deal with.

The best medical acronym is PNES. Neurologists got together and decided to rename pseudoseizures as psychogenic nonepileptiform seizures, PNES, or more aptly called “penis”.

Let's table this and circle back once we have a path forward.

KPI

Makes me want to punch a wall because I know the formulas to calculate them and how manipulated and wrong they are at my job. They are meaningless numbers and every decision is based on them.
