OK Den

Names in the story have been changed.

I heard this story from a coworker after mentioning how confused I was in meetings because I couldn’t keep up with all the acronyms.

Her friend started a new job, and everyone kept referring to reports and projects being “OKD,” and neither of them could figure out what it meant. After asking around and trying to look it up for months, she finally asked a coworker.

‘OKD’ meant On Kevin’s Desk.
