garbage disguised as hard
workPiggybackers love gimmicks because it helps disguise their piggybacking behaviour.
Often, Piggybackers spend more
time writing emails (or gimmicks) than actually spending time on the actual
work or task at hand. This is how you can identify a piggybacker.
Typically, the piggybackers will frustrate the piggybacked with too much gimmicks to the point that the piggybacked will choose to do it himself/herself.
Praising is a critical weapon in the piggybackers
arsenal.
Piggybacking and gimmicks are synonymous -- one cannot exist without another.
Piggybacker A: Have you done your part for the report and presentation?
Piggybacker B: Yea, I have done it under a hour -- it is plain gimmicks.
Piggybacked: Can you get me some tibits and a
coke?
Piggybacker A and B: Sure! *Comes back with green
tea instead of
coke*
Piggybacked: I wanted
coke!
Piggybacker A and B: We are concerned about your health!
Piggybacker A and B: I like your laptop very, very much!
Piggybacked: Really? It is a very old laptop!
