This “boring” task involves moving data, waiting, and praying nothing fails mid-transfer.
file copy
This is where we monitor jobs and pretend everything is under control.
CC (Control Center)
Replies to your month-end report pings no matter the hour — 12 AM or 2 AM, he’s always online.
Andrew
A “mandatory” call for every CRQ. Team leads ping the group.... Everyone please join....., but only SMEs attend.
IP call
What is the daily ritual where new joinees learn Excel the hard way and seniors review with silent tears? 🥲🖱️
FDP KPI
Every time we copy from PROD to UAT/BQ, these magical creatures appear with work orders.
AD team
You run your query and then go make tea, finish work, maybe even age a little — output arrives hours later.
DAS/HUE
You say “data looks good” in the report — this person says “Great work!” instead of grilling you.
Ryan
You just woke up. You join with audio only.
The lead says: “What’s the update from your side?”
You pretend your mic isn’t working.
FDH-SOX Daily status call
A sheet that most people fill every day without knowing what it’s for. They just get data and... obey.
Idea sheet
This 2-letter code sounds fancy but mostly means “please investigate…”
NC
Closing this before SLA breach is harder than solving the issue itself.
INC/WO
Checks the SAP BPC report cell by cell, every time.
Asma
Managers talk, slides are shown, “fun interactions” are promised.
You’re fixing a broken job and pinging people on Teams.
VMO2 - All Hands Meeting
You open the file.
You paste the counts.
You stare at it for a second and ask yourself:
“Who even looks at this?”
BQ sheet
The project where we track shipments, revenue, and forget lunch breaks?
FDH (Finance Data Hub)
We all had KT sessions. We all nodded like we understood. But no one has access. Still, we’re trying automating KPIs here.
Dataplex
You see her name in CC and suddenly re-read your message 3 times.
Laura
It’s called a weekly call, but production never lets it happen. When it does, games, gossip, and video intros begin.
Fun Friday
The issue is fixed.
The data is fine.
But now comes the real challenge:
Updating 7 columns in an Excel you never wanted to open again.
KPI tracker
The villain of our batch jobs. It fails randomly due to rejected records, triggers 20 Teams messages, and forces weekend logins. Everyone hates it.
physical_processing
You finally get your work session up…
Accidentally close it…
Now you need password + OTP + pin code all over again.
Citrix
This client wants HWS reports perfect, spots a missing comma, and is always ready to escalate.
Tim – the Escalation King 👑📈
co-worker: “Any doubts?”
Team: Silent
Reality: No one even knows what the topic was
the session where knowledge is transferred to the air, not the team
KT calls/sessions
It’s 10 PM.
You open Control Center.
Filter job by job.
Copy timings.
Paste in Excel.
Repeat 27 times.
