Every second counts in corporate America. To save time, companies from coast to coast have embraced the acronym. They’re time savers. And sometimes, as in the case of one corporation’s Records and Information Management (RIM) initiative, they’re sexually explicit.

“You’re coming in so back-end,” the human resources generalist sighs and tells the assistant reluctant to take part in the program.
“Ah, the RIM job,” the secretary says. “Certainly it’s too late for me to help.”
The generalist shakes her head. “No, we’ll be able to insert you easily.”
The assistant waits for a smile. Nothing. “How far in are you?” he ventures.
“At this point,” answers the generalist, “it’s all about retention.”
