Acronyms Cause Layoffs

Hear me out here...

I spend at least 30 minutes a day, just looking up the hundreds of acronyms each program uses to explain their ideas.

Most of those acronyms have 5 different matches in our acronym tool. So then I spend another 20 minutes trying to identify which one is the correct one.

If we can communicate, we can complete quality work that will allow us to serve our customer base. We are wasting our own resources, confusing our customers, confusing ourselves, and generally making headaches for ourselves with the acronym soup we all force feed each other. That lack of productivity, means we lose money. And every time we lose money, we lose good people.

We could increase productivity by 5% across the board by speaking in plain english. Allowing us to create better products, serve our customers better, and reduce layoffs.

So correct use of acronyms will not only increase productivity by 5% but also reduce layoffs across ?
You are the reason we have layoffs. People who pay attention and spend way much time on processes and admin work. You seem like a PM or Sales or on some non engineering team.
