The military take the abbr.hl. to the next level. But atleast the abbreviations are properly documented there. I guess the root is keeping telegraphy short?
On my last job it was so bad that it took like a year before you could follow conversations properly. Also old deprecated abbreviations were used for extra flavor. E.g. calling projects or departments by their former former name.
- teakettle42 5y agoMy current employer is similarly terrible in this area. It took a year before I felt like I fully understood people’s day-to-day conversations. On top of the usual acronym madness, nearly everything is always referenced by code name, versioned according to arcane and strange conventions, and the mapping to released product names and real version numbers is not always documented or obvious.
