/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!

Get the task managermug. 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.

Get the cassandrean taskmug. 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 draggingmug. A task troll is someone with a limited understanding of a discussion yet maintains their authority by sending opponents on spurious and pointless tasks in order to evade engagement in the discussion. An aura of superiority can be achieved with little or no substantial credibility. It may "buy time" or lead to one's opponent being exhausted after doing the heavy work.
The task troll wasn't sure how to respond in our debate so he asked me to read five particular academic papers and report back. I doubt he's read even a single paper among thousands that deal with this matter.
