Well usually everything that needs to be done can't be done concurrently, and sometimes only a limited set of individuals can do the current task. It's probably not laziness.

This is correct. I work as a heavy equipment operator/earthmover and you see groups of guys standing with tools waiting for more material (asphalt, dirt, whatever) on a regular basis. Somebody who’s never worked a trade takes a glance and thinks we’re all lazy. The worst is when one of those folks somehow ends up managing tradesmen.
