We had our annual all-hands engineering meeting at a fancy winery in the hills of Saratoga, CA. One of the VPs proceeded with an introductory PowerPoint presentation of the days agenda. We were going to talk about current and future projects for the coming year. On one slide were several acronyms that I wasnt familiar with and I raised my hand to ask what they stood for. After explaining what the acronyms meant, he said there would be lots of TLAs and if anyone had any questions, just ask. I asked the guys to either side of me what a TLA was and they didnt know either. The next day, one of the other engineers came by my cubicle and said he found out what a TLA is. He said TLA stands for Three Letter Acronym. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I couldnt believe there was an acronym for acronym. Only in corporate America!
