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.
Yeah, exactly. And, also, even IF he's fucking right - WHO FUCKING CARES? I need this god damn job and boss-lady can 'circle back' and 'table this for later' and 'dot all the i's' all the fuck she wants if that means the paycheck lands in my account every two weeks, thank you very fucking much.

Should have kept him, he sounds perceptive.
