DEV-T

  1. Developed traffic, unusual and unnecessary traffic. A phenomenon which costs a company two-thirds of the effort of its employees and executives.
  2. Short for “Developed Traffic”.  It means unusual and unnecessary traffic – a great many motions necessary where only the correct one was needed.  It exists only because the person causing it didn’t handle a situation or problem when it was his or her hat.

EXAMPLES:

  • Leaving one’s post during production hours without letting anyone know and not answering the phone.
  • Stopping doing a task that has been assigned as a priority and doing something else that is not a priority.
  • Josh left the company to go handle a personal matter without letting anyone know where he was and leaving his phone turned off. He caused dev-t in the company because many people were looking for him and things he needed to handle went unhandled.
