    I confess that I’m 25 years into my career field and I still don’t “get” “OKR” and “PKI”.

    I know what the acronyms mean and have looked at definitions dozens of times. But, when I see them in practice, I figure that there’s something I’m still missing—some arcane knowledge only revealed to project managers and executives—because they’re always somehow nonsensical to the business, like someone filled in a Mad Lib.

      Public Key Infrastructure

      Means your offices are locked not by company private keys but by public statutes of the state, and a court order will make them unlock.

      (Or, less-commonly used)

      PacK it In

      Give up. Go home.
