what's your backlog
at work, I was asked this question
"whats your backlog?"
context: we were trying to figure out when I have time to get some training.
I was confused because i didnt know what the person was asking, was it a)what's your available time or b) what am I working on
it felt like I was asked what am I working on because backlog = work right?
anyhow, whats the native speaker way of responding?? thanks.

"What's your backlog?"
backlog = build-up of unfinished work (e.g. work that you have not had time to do)
Example answers:
"I still have another four cases to deal with."
"I don't have any backlog; I'm completely up to date."

thanks!
Is "what's your backlog?" same as "what's your backlog like?"
Is the second one right even?

barefootchuckIs "what's your backlog?" same as "what's your backlog like?"More or less. The first is possibly more likely to be used when asking for specific details, while the second may be expecting an answer more like "Terrible" or "Not too bad".
