Description

When we started work in the food industry, it frequently felt like we were missing half the conversation.

Acronyms and abbreviations were commonly used, and we had no idea what they meant or if they were important to us. We resorted to running out of the room to check in with google on our phones just to be able to follow the conversation. Frequently we felt we were making decisions without knowing exactly what we were talking about and more than once we ended up in situations that cost us money that way.
