Its a trap. You'll put a decent amout of effort into a pointless task and he'll come out with some management bullsheet about spotting things that are a waste of time at work.

Possibly, or it could just be an exercise to see how much effort people will put into a 'management request', however pointless it may seem. A test to see if you'll do what you're told...

Or the manager is playing some sort of game, and wants other people to do the work for him.

Or the OP is messing with people to see if they will take the time to bother searching(thinking of) for words.

Seems an odd task if genuine, but people are strange

I hate pretentious bull**** like this.

FFS he's in a job with a specific role to fill - just let him get on and do it. There's no need for him to 'justify' himself (if that's what the exercise is for). If he wasn't doing an honest job, then that'd 'come out in the wash', and would be dealt with accordingly.

None of this utter pointlessness.
