EOD, COB, COP, TBD\u2014these are just a few of the acronyms that you will need to be familiar with as you venture into the world of business. And if you happen to be a little confused at first or mix them up, don’t panic. It happens to all of us at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, I remember the first time I received an email with the closing remark, “Report to be submitted by EOD Tuesday…”, and I wondered what my supervisor needed an explosive for (EOD is also a military term for Explosive Ordinance Disposal). Thank goodness I looked the meaning up before ordering some C4 on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acronyms are an efficient way for business professionals to communicate with one another. When a supervisor assigns a task, they may detail whether it’s due at the end of the day (EOD) or close of business (COB). It’s important to know the meanings of these acronyms to avoid missing any important deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, for the safety of your supervisor, team and organization as a whole, I will show you what EOD means in business. I will also show you how to use it to communicate effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is EOD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
EOD stands for “end of the day,” which refers to the end of the business day. Some employers may use EOD and COB interchangeably, but they have a few key differences. When supervisors assign tasks to be completed by EOD, they expect employees to complete them by the end of the business day in their own time zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If someone assigns a task to someone in a different time zone, then it’s usually due by the end of the business day in the sender’s time zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
