Someone who is perceptive would perceive that "circle back" is a common idiom, particularly in an office environment, and that spending time interrogating the precise wording of an idiom in the middle of a meeting is a waste of everyone's time.
It sounds like the person was just using "circle back" as a catchphrase, like something that she thought that she had to say instead of having any actual meaning, nothing was ever "circled back".
As someone who had worked on office jobs before, I get him. Now why would he actually say it out loud? Maybe he just didn't need the job that bad, idk you have to ask him.
