In any MNCs, if they ignore you, usually there are a few reasons:
1. Stupid question
2. Emailed to the wrong person
3. Email doesn't clearly state what you're asking
4. Asking them to do what you're supposed to be doing
5. All of the above

You should ask yourself whether you fall into any of those categories.

See above. There is an art of emailing/requests. You should go look it up in LinkedIn Learning, Oreilly or any of those self help websites.

Nah, if you're working in MNC, you will usually know the priorities of your team and other teams/geo (or your manager/department lead would tell you). If you're not privy to those info, that would mean whatever you're working is too low priority to even reply.

There's a way to get around that. Firstly:
- Identify the right person for the email (You should liaise more with your seniors or check with them if you're emailing cross team/geo for any tips)
- Identify/introduce yourself to provide the context to the recipient (more often that not, the person you're asking is not sure if you're privy to the information. You can also CC your manager/senior or a person that the other team identifies with)
- Place the right amount of information for context (You're asking a request or question to the other team, you need to do some homework/legwork to provide the right amount of context, not too much that the person you're asking will put off for later, but not too little that they can't work with)
- If the amount of information is too big, consider setting up a meeting with the person first, with putting the basic context in the meeting invite, then explaining the right amount of info.
- Put at most 2 requests/questions that you have in a prominent location of the email (Usually ends with a question mark "?" and are bolded/highlighted and not more than 15-20 words long per sentence)
- Say the right amount of appreciation/thankfulness for fulfilling the request/answering the question (Usually, people skip this. It's very important!)

That's on you. If you are too lazy to ask what it means, you are to be blamed. Try asking your seniors or someone who've worked with the other team.

That would mean that the acronym has became a word by itself.

Need to setup a meeting to discuss and get the information that you don't have. At this point, I'm not really sure of the problem you're facing. Can you explain more on the details?

Edit: Just had to say this:Even our situation is exactly the thing you're facing. Most likely you're not communicating your intent well, hence confusing your stakeholders/recipients.
