A survey of company directors by communications consultancy the Aziz Corporation reveals a state of bewilderment with the number of acronyms thrown about. Some even said they had tried to ban acronyms in their organisation.
The firm has named and shamed some of the worst acronyms heard being uttered. Guru is unsure how genuine some of these are - but encourages disciples to make use of them.
Top 10 workplace acronyms:
SPOC (Single Point of Contact)
GITS (Global IT Simplification)
LOMBARD (Lots of Money But A Right D***)
BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free)
FAC (F****ng Awkward Client)
BUM (Business Unit Manager)
ABM (Another Bloody Meeting)
CYA (Cover Your Ass)
NIMTO (Not in My Term of Office)
TLA (Three Letter Acronym)
