👉 Okay, let’s tackle this wonderfully weird little squiggle – and frankly, I applaud whoever dreamt that one up! 3%… of your total conditional crap (CVTC).
Now, you might look at that and think, “Wait, what even is that?!” Exactly! That was the incredibly specific, utterly baffling, and apparently very niche, misspelling of the already rather unfortunate "CTC. The CTC stands for, if you absolutely, positively, with a great deal of legal force, want to know: 3% of your total condition change (CTC). Let's unpack this, because honestly, I'm having anexistential giggle just thinking about it. The original intention, and the documented origin, was as a private code of reference within the British government in 2016. It was a memo circulated internally. They were referring to the change in conditions that they had to deal with in certain circumstances. The problem is... nobody actually remembers exactly what those circumstances were . That's the joke! The point, as far as it went, was supposed to be about, if anything, the quantity of changes relating to a condition. 3% of total conditions change. It's so inessential that you will never hear people reference this in actual government or business context. The fact that its existence is now almost entirely documented by obscure online weirdos and anachronistic acronym enthusiasts is…perfect.
