Got a sec?

Three words that asshole middle management office drones use. These eventually lead to job termination.

Office Manager Drone: "Hey Bert. Got a sec?"
Sucker employee: "Sure"
Office Manager Drone: "Let's go to my office."
Sucker employee: "OK."
"Office Manager Drone: "Sorry. We're going to have to let you go. Things just aren't working out."
Sucker employee: "Wow."
Office Manager Drone: "What?
Sucker employee: "You're right. That only took a sec."

gotasec

A random and often very time-consuming task, request or favor, usually encountered at work. These are almost always initiated with a seemingly-innocent question such as "Got a sec?" or "Got a minute?", and very likely end up requiring large amounts of time and effort to resolve. Gotasecs can reach you through almost any means, from in-person visits, emails, chat messages, text messages, etc.

Office worker 1: "What happened? You weren't in the 2:00 meeting today."
Office worker 2: "The CEO hit me up on chat with a gotasec that ended up taking 4 hours to fix, so I had to bail on the meeting."
Office worker 1: "Sucks, but it happens all the time..."
