If I ever start a company, I am going to have a no acronyms policy. Any one who over complicates things with acronyms will be fired on the spot.

Having an "avoid acronyms wherever possible" policy is actually pretty good. Recently moved to a company that has this and it's quite helpful for facilitating fast communication across the organization. In aerospace too, traditionally probably the most acronym-heavy business there it.
Agree you can't avoid them 100% though

I love you OP

The spirit of your law is fully supported and echoed by me OP! Acronyms are confusing!

TFW

Read noble prize winner Daniel kahneman. Acronyms are efficient. They let our mind take a shortcut and sub out the full meaning without having to think about it every time. It’s not just a time to write/say it thing, it’s also a more efficient mental shortcut. So yeah, acronyms are good

One of my MBA classes used the acronym NAZ as the only allowed acronym. It stood for No Acronym Zone.

NASA would collapse They have a separate business unit for creating acronyms with trainings provided for new comers

Good luck on any government related work

I would put more thought into the business case. Consider revenue generation before acronym elimination

Plz consider me for employment

SM2 - I would argue that acronyms are used to exclude people or are used to make someone seem smarter. It’s so very frustrating to onboard and there’s an instant communication gap because of the acronyms.

Where’s the job portal for my application ?

Thx
