uni-task

Situation normal. Working in accordance with one's pay rate. Also see semi-tasking.

This morning I checked my email, and then I moved some stuff around on my desk for a while, and then I checked my voice mail. I was uni-tasking.

Shit tasking

You know those shitty tasks at work that no one likes to do? Those tasks that the new guy always gets? Well if you're new at your job, you'll most likely be shit tasking for the first week at least.

Dad: Hey kimmy, how was your first day at work?
Kimmy: It was splendid! NAH, JUST KIDDING. I've been shit tasking all day long

Dad: Just shut the f*ck up Kimmy and do your job

cassandrean task

when you have to deal with people you know won't listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

Todd: god taking to bill is such a cassandrean task sometimes

Paul: i know right, no matter what you say he refuses to listen

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.
