Did you listen to that guy? His discernment is at mid level management HR department level. I bet he uses the dumbest made-up word ever, "pro active," in every meeting. He's the type who makes meetings unbearable, and no one hates meetings more than I.
I'll run it through approvals and will action it once blessed. Please join the Slack Channel #notanotherinitiave for Daily SCRUM updates and post-Sprint demos.
All words are made up at some point, and if you believe that the word "proactive" is "made up" then you must also consider its polar opposite, "reactive" to be dumb as well.
Well, it was made up quite recently and when it started appearing, I looked in the dictionary for its meaning. Not there. So with pro meaning professional, or in favor of something, or before, I thought it a strange word. So I have put it in the same category as reiterate, which has always seemed a bit reredundant.
Just tried again. Wasn't in my 1965 webster nor was it in my 1980's something one in the office. Synonym of iterate is repeat. So rerepeat is good? And the vast majority of reiterating are in fact the first iteration in that conversation. Reredundant.

Yes, I'm sure he's used all the cringy phrases they adore ....
I'll reach out to them.... Let's circle back to that.... Empowering.... Equity....
Too many I can't remember... my brain just just off when I hear them.

1933 is not that recently.
Reiterate is literally redundant for a reason.
You iterate something. You reiterate it afterwards.
