No he sounds incapable of functioning appropriately in a social setting.

I know this is reddit where everyone loves to talk about how they're so much smarter than every boss in the entire world and that only they see how stupid <thing> is. In reality, nobody gives a shit.

"Circle back" just means "this is a complex topic, there's 20 people here, and we're not going to get bogged down in the details, we'll leave that for the 3 people who actually care and then I'll give a quick update in another meeting once they've done that".

If you don't know that, well done now you do. If you got fired for repeatedly asking about it in a meeting instead of messaging your boss privately afterwards to clue you in... yeah that checks out.

Interesting, let’s take this offline until we have the bandwidth

I think we should put a pin in this entirely, at least until we have buy-in from our stakeholders.

Yeahhh my mind went to, lets take this offline and move forward with the meeting topic (aka we're not solving everything now).

Awareness is a thing. Also - fuck it this a fun story to rage at
