Task Switching

When your supervisor or manager asks you to complete a task and you put the task/duty onto another coworker while on shift.

Last night at work my manager asked me to do something during my shift. I found my nearest coworker and gave the task that I didn't want to do to them. Task Switching is really difficult to pull off since it must be consensual for the employee receiving your assigned task.

Semi-tasking

To do multiple tasks at once, not really putting in much concentration nor effort.

I had so much to do yesterday that I was only semi-tasking most of it, so I basically got nothing done.

disagreeable-task swap

Refers to a "buddy assistance" deal where Person A completes a yucky/difficult/boring job for Person B that he doesn't feel up to suffering through, while Person B tackles a similarly-sucky task that Person A would ordinarily have to perform himself, but also loathes the thought of doing.

I cleaned out Tiffany's garage in exchange for her vacuuming and mopping the muddy floors of my house after a boisterous post-game visit from our town's little-league baseball team... pretty fair disagreeable-task swap, if you ask me.
