The problem with workplace jargon - Acronyms
Adam experiences the horror of sitting in a workplace meeting and not knowing the jargon when the acronyms are just too intense... and not wanting to admit it.

Cool, so that's how PlayTech is spelt. Alright moving on to the other reason for the meeting. We really need to go over our KPIs (Key Performance Indicator) for the month and make sure we've got all our CTAs (Call to Actions) by EOD (End of Day). Actually Rowan I've not gotten my OOO (Out of Office) for the PTO (Paid Time Off) yet. I didn't approve your PTO (Paid Time Off). In fact it's gonna be a UPL (Unpaid Leave) with a PC(Pay Cut). Ah, FFS (For Fucks Sake). Let's get BOT (Back on Topic) and finish this RIM(Regional Implementation Meeting), okay. We've got to get QA (Quality Assurance)on this OS (Operating System), because the ISP(Internet Service Provider) has said this UX (User Experience) isn't upto scratch. We won't be able to perform B2B (Business to Business) OPS (Operations) if the CMS (Content Management System) isn't ready. I'll get on top of that CMS (Content Management System) and check the CPC (Cost Per Click) as well. What about PPC (Pay Per Click)? Ah yeah I'll check that as well as the ROS (Return on Sales) and the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as well. Ah Ellie, have you got the UV (Unique Visitor) stats for the SaaS (Software as a Service)? We need that ASAP (As Soon as Possible) by EOP (End of Play). Yeah all good Rowan. I've got the OTC (Over the Counter) MOM (Microsoft Operations Management) TBA (To Be Announced). Then the CFO (Chief Financing Officer) has asked me to get on the EDS (Electronic Data Systems) Ion EST ASAP (Established As Soon As Possible). Thanks Ellie.
UA... (You Awesome)
Incredible...
Key Performance Index.. Am I correct?
Estas enfermo amigo XD
I was just intetnded to do the same.
That‘s exactly what I asked the lead of my company once at a big company meeting 😂 WTF what does all that stuff mean? 😂
Get your free F-L-A-T C-L-I-C-K-E-R, defeat R-O-W-A-N-A-T-O-R and become T-H-E W-O-R-L-D S-A-V-I-O-R :v
Is this what i sound like when i talk to others about Magic the Gathering? :D
Many a time i've wiggled my way out of a tight spot with a nod or a "yup".
I mean, atleast i got WTF right...
Aaah FFS xD
Lol I can only imagine how hard this one must have been to film, but y'all still nailed it coz you guys are awesome!
Is it sad I actually understood that?
As an EMT, this is exactly how I feel when the RNs and MDs and paramedics start talking... and I just leave the room real quick before someone starts talking to me
Those aren’t acronyms they’re initialisms
F*** Samsung
They forgot one: UCSS - unnecessarily complicating simple shit
Adam : how about Q&A ?
Lol the thumbnail looks like adam ragusea
Thats how Playtech is spelled...its literally on their shirts
wtf
I got about 12% of this. And I am sure its not a solid 12%
Medicine is similar .... Bloods to take: CBC, RP, LFT, TFT, Ca, Po4 , Mg , APTT, INR, PSA .... and the list goes on
Is rowan the boss irl as well?
I understood WAY to much of that and have been in meetings very like that :D (yes I'm a tech consultant)
I'm a software dev, so this is way too familiar. Only one or two I didn't know (mostly related to the financial stuff because I don't deal with that side of things)
This reminds me of Whackhead Simpson's acronym prank call a few years back. Funniest shit ever. hugets.info/show/rmBqhsaVnZliunI/vide.html
Pifft who needs words we have letters
wahahahahahahahahahaaa thisss is pure gold!
Me in uni 😂
Painfully familiar.
Service tickets I work on get a unique spin of acronyms. For example, if a system rights itself for no explainable reason, without action on my part, it gets resolved as FMH. Elsewise known as, "Fucking Magic Happened."
Wtf at the end was the coolest😂😂😂
This video is the light version of Ironforge two years after WOW's release.
*laughs in initialism*
The best acronym I used K.
The truly disturbing thing is that I got most of that.
lol i understood about 90% of this.
Ummm..... FUBAR and let’s POETS. 😉
This is how students of english as second language feel like in every talk.
you guys think you have jargon??? im a music producer
Bet they were all using random words make it sound like they are smart but don't know what they are saying
This is how ski guides sound as well.
seeing rowan serious and completely make sense on conversations its kind a awkward...kekw
When letters get introduced in math.
Also what it's like to be a noob in a game where everyone already has established abbreviations for every gameplay element i.e., I am planning to LVL my PLD in PotD, HoH, and BSF so I can get my RW asap and start raiding E5S with my FC.
Following on from Viswanath M's script comment; Adam's bit... (had to fill some parts from the CC (closed captions), and I don't think some of them are accurate) ------------ Now, Adam, you've actually got an easy afternoon. I've just got one simple little task for you to get on with. Oh good. So we've got the NSO(R) (Network Security OfficeR) coming down the P(TQ) (Percent to Quota?) this arvo (afternoon). I need you to be on the FTG (Field Training Group?) ASAP (As Soon As Possible) til this TTT (Time to Target) comes through with ROG (Rate of Growth). Get the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) done by EOP (End of Play). Then you can LWR (Leave With Reason) and take your SDO (Scheduled Day Off). Shouldn't be much of a PQY (Production QualitY (issue?)) because most people have a QWE (Quality Work Environment) anyway. ------------ Don't know if the CC or Rowan's lines in the vid are more accurate but here it is anyway.
Watching that while learning ITIL is priceless
This is 100% what it feels like working in research too. Reading these comments made me realize how many industries have this problem. So silly!!
Sadly...I understood about 75% of what he said... I need therapy. 😂😂😂
Haha! I'm laughing so hard right now! I remember one time in my work, I was new back then then he spew bunch of acronyms... I was like 'What the hell is SIL!?'
Mornin'. Nice day for gibberish, ain't it? Huha!
I fu**ing hate acronyms. To me, it looks like I'm talking to a robot. I love english language (it's not my home language), but I can't stand acronyms when overused, and what I see is that a lot of people abuse of them.
"Ess-double-a-ess" (SaaS) and "O-pee-ess" (Ops)? I know it works for the acronyms-theme, but you really should consult someone from the field when using their jargon because that's not how you pronounce them. Good skit regardless!
Ah, no project is complete without being assigned a good TLA. (Three-letter Acronym).
I was expecting that
Still waiting for the Karen Saga
hugets.info/show/o35gha3N1ZyryZw/vide.html
I always get lost with acronyms. Like just fucking use words so us with auditory processing disorder have a slightly better chance at understanding you.
Finally bench watched all 206 vids of Bored. Worth it
Bring back Byron!
That sad moment when I've completed marathon of entire episodes all over again.... Guys when's next video coming?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Waiting for Adam to do the pathetic cry
Alan’s FFS got me 😂😂😂
Can't even understand a single sentence with caps on :D:D
Alan: WTF.! me: haaa., I understood that reference. (captain america from avengers)
I love the song at the end, so relaxing.
This is by far one of the funniest videos on HUgets
This is why I hate learning IT.
Literally how I feel in every meeting at work..
I'm with you, Adam. My mom is retired Navy. When she'd tell me about work or when I stopped by her work, this is what I'd hear. I'd joke that I didn't understand their alphabet soup. 😄
Adam is genuinely a great actor! With simply his eyes and his facial expressions he manages to convey the fear and disbelief of the situation! Simply amazing! You are all the best! Thank you!
And I was struggling with spelling Playtech.....
hell yeah WTF!
captions : Saas rowan : istablaesn (i think)
being Rowen, i imagined the RIM in "Let's get BOT and finish this RIM" is "Ridiculously Idiotic Meeting"
This could be a linked in post like 😆
Huh hah! Nice DFF aint it? Huh hah!
@Viva La Dirt League you know what's funny? a manager would understand most of these but would come down into the comment section, just to look what "ROG" stands for
As a student pilot, three words: air. traffic. controllers.
Adam you just need to RTFM! :P
WTF I got every acronym until Rowan gave Adam his job.
Literally any Army briefing I've ever been to. If you've ever been in, you know the feeling haha
This video makes me want to PMM (punch my monitor.)
I really love the "WTF" at the end xD
Lol, you should try studying for a network IT certification if you think this is bad
We dont use this in the trades but a lot more jargon
Gotta love some TLAs
*I feel like I'm in school again*
Well.... that just sounded like regular NZ accent to me, ngl.
what, so Playtech has changed business to software development ? hmm competition...
I’ve been taking notes on how to be a better manager from Rowan. I’ve been doing it all wrong!
When you work for Amazon...
At this point, i am not sure if ellie really know the thing she said or she just made up coz she know how stupid rowan was.
Lol my company's saftey manager likes to make up new acronyms and tell next to nobody what they are then stare at you like your crazy when u don't know em so I feel this pain lol
As I saw Adams confusion I got a message saying my money just got sucked up by my xbox lol
This is me every class
WTF
Wait, what does Double You Tea Ef mean?
All clear on the business talk - but what does WTF mean? 🤔
I can relate to not paying attention to the morning meetings and then they ask me a question...
НИхуху не понятно, но БЛ ВСЛо)
Wow, I just sat through the entire video looking like Adam.
Has anyone noticed Rowan acting like a good boss sometimes in this series
