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.

Get the Task Tuesday mug.The task force agents that are only visible by tweakers. The ITF is like the DTF (Drug Task Force) in some ways, but they hold different credentials, as in, the ITF are shapeshifters and they usually go away when you eat and go to sleep. The ITF sets up surveillance through power lines, radios, outlets, microwaves, etc. Aluminum hats are only thing that can interfere with the signals. And they are unable to see you if you peek out the blinds. Also, the ITF usually are hiding out in trees or bushes outside a tweakers garage and most certainly outside their sheds.

Get the task manager mug.A term used by douche bags to show their discontent with fake issues. Those who use this term tend to be pig headed democrats that know nothing about real issues, they just waste their useless lives sitting at home alone blogging because they know that no one around would talk to them for any other reasons.
I was nega-tasking today about Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and the majority of US citizens opposing health care reform.
