bad acronym

[deird_lj]

For a number of years now, everyone at my work has had to write a yearly PPDP - or "Personal Professional Development Plan".

...finally, someone decided that this was a stupid title.

So they renamed it. This year, we have to write a "Personal Management System".

(And no-one noticed the acronym. No-one.)



I keep getting emails from my boss asking how my PMS is going. It's starting to weird me out...

In a previous workplace they once renamed most of the middle-management titles (presumably to make people feel like they were more important without actually, you know, paying them more or anything crazy like that).

Most of the title changes were fine, but I can't help feeling that the Business Unit Managers got the raw end of that particular decision...
