Cassandrian task

Dealing with people you know won't listen to you, despite being provided accurate information, and watching them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start.

(Often witnessed in customer service or technical support)

Releasing this new feature was a Cassandrian task.

make sure you get paid the proper rate when doing tasks for people in positions of power. One of the reasons they are rich and successful is that they prefer to make money for themselves rather than for others. That’s a lesson you need to learn.

quasi-tasking

/v/ Workin like a hunchback in a church. Doing multiple, endless, meaningless tasks. Usually for a demanding and self-righteous person.

Oh man, yesterday my mom had me quasi-tasking for hours.
Seriously? That's the sixth thing you've asked me to do in the last hour! Stop quasi-tasking me man!

Task dragging

A workplace behavior where an employee intentionally slows down their work pace—often under the guise of thoroughness or caution—to delay starting a new task, align idle time with scheduled breaks, or avoid additional workload. Common tactics include stretching simple tasks, repeating non-essential steps, and selectively working efficiently only when motivated or supervised. Frequently observed in environments with low task oversight and time-based productivity expectations, such as CNC operations or manufacturing roles.

Edd is task dragging again.
