Nuclear Proaction

1) An extreme “over pre-action” to an event occurring in the future. 2) Extraordinarily proactive measures taken in spite of detailed processes already in place to address the situation in question. Communications are typically verbose, meticulously detailed, and far exceed the authority of the originator. Commonly encountered via email, examples often contain combinations of “wall o’ words”, check-lists, outlines, attachments, or screen shots and are often sent to multiple recipients using separate email chains in a shotgun effect. Whether intended or not, nuclear proactions are demeaning to their recipients because they are generally unnecessary and infer ineptitude on the part of the recipient.
