When a large group are assigned to a big rush job,
one or more quietly
disappear.. only to suddenly appear for a short while, as though performing tasks
involved in the project. NOT! They are slipping off to text or other private tasks of their own. They are.. 'ghosting the job'.
Boss: 'Hey you guys - have
you seen Russ or Dave?' Um.. yeah, they were just here a second ago.. but
I can't see them now. Oh, here they come. Boss: 'You two are
screwing the pooch! Quit ghosting the job and get busy!!'
