changeable
When describing weather or a person's mood, "changeable" often suggests that the changes happen quickly and unexpectedly. In legal or formal contexts, it is used to describe rules or agreements that can be modified, though "adjustable" or "amendable" are common alternatives.

The Q3 goals are totally changeable. Just pivot your strategy.
Mark
Bet. I'll just wing it until the next sync then.

David uses corporate jargon ('pivot') to describe the flexibility of goals, while Mark responds with Gen-Z slang ('Bet', meaning 'Alright/I agree') and a phrasal verb ('wing it', meaning to improvise without preparation), highlighting their mismatched professional energies.
