don't know if we have the bandwidth for that today, my team is like herding cats, I'm about to put a hard stop to that, my ask of them will be to take this off line, ideate, and then maybe we can close the loop on this, I'll have to punt this for now

I work in sales in the medical/pharma field and agencies send RFPs filled with acronyms for either medical conditions or industry conferences with no other information. And often times there are more common terms associated with said acronym. Is vv frustrating to try and figure out WTF they're referring to.

Besides all the ones already mentioned.... I remember the first one I came across in a work environment.

"Have you seen Bob? The managers would say.

To stop people stealing by " forgetting " their two cases of beer was on the bottom of the buggy.
