"Kicking the stump" refers to engaging in activities that are ultimately unproductive and futile, often imposed by an employer or authority figure, despite their lack of meaningful impact or effectiveness. These actions are typically repetitive, redundant, and serve little purpose beyond fulfilling arbitrary or bureaucratic requirements. This term captures the essence of tasks that waste time and resources without contributing to any significant outcome or progress.
