I am planning on having daily meetings with my boss.<BR/><BR/>And yes, they are very sympathetic to this newbie not knowing the acronyms and words they use.

I've found, though, that most bosses are understanding of this, and if you ask will give you a brief summary of what they are talking about, enough anyway to let you get started on finding the info on the internet. I usually will keep a list of acronym's and terms throughout the day to ask the boss about in our morning get together (another thing I try to institute with a new boss, if possible, especially early in the relationship).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
