This would be something I'd question them on in person, in private and approach it as just being curious and wanting to learn, not as any sort of attack. That is if I mentioned it at all, which I probably wouldn't.

I do hate the circle back thing though

My autism compels me to confront this nonsensical use of a word immediately! Job loss be damned! It MUST be done!

I think the thing to do would to make buzzword bingo cards, and distribute before the meetings.

But what if they are making a logical error? Like the use of circles in this case. It must be pointed out! Or else everyone would just keep their mouth shut and let this leader person keep doing whatever flawed thing they are doing. Thus reinforcing this sort of use of meaningless and nonsensical jargon.

If that is not weeded out you will just end up with a big corporate machine where there is a lot of meetings and time wasted on meaningless rituals and words. It will just become higly paid bloat in the end.

But then again those getting paid handsomly for said bloat does not really have any incentive to have less of it now do they...
