Delete"People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" as yes significant use of acronyms but Chemists and Biologist rely heavily on such shorthand its just we learn what they mean- likely any qualified person would undersatnd the ad
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of postings for the JNJ site in Titusville, NJ using acronyms that seem to describe internal programs--without ever defining them. As in, "Responsibilities: Key stakeholder in TNOLYBBQ program." Titusville seems to be where JNJ sticks a lot of clinical development people, so I figured they started developing their own language.

I think they use these highly specific acronyms to discourage outside job applicants, they already have someone
