Is your job's performance "copacetic"?

Upon opening my online news, a new word comes up and it's copacetic.
Have you come across this word? This is the first I have come across with.
And this is its meaning:
Copacetic (less commonly spelled copasetic or copesetic) describes things that are very satisfactory.
// Worry not: I assure you that everything's copacetic.
Thus, I could use this. My teaching performance ratings were mostly copacetic.
Sometimes it's good for us to find a new word while we're reading. Do you agree?

@Nakitakona Yes these words can be quite specific and are rarely seen being used by good writers.

Writers do use them sparingly and cautiously for they might be misunderstood.

Being very satisfactory is nice I suppose. I agree that another word would be better.

Yep, heard this a handful of times when I was coaching our directors and department heads when conducting performance evaluation and discussion with their direct reports. Some of them used it incorrectly, and some of them used it correctly but has to be reminded to ensure that their message is received and understood by the appropriate recipient.

That's good for you. Me is the first heard this word. I am used to the phrase very satisfactory as far as my job performance is all about.
