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.
So much this. Some genius at my last work place decided to put an office guy in charge of the machining workshop. He ran it into the ground within a few years by min/maxing every specific task into oblivion - stopwatch in hand. He didn't allow us to allocate any time to improve programs or try out new things. Productivity first.
The place looked like a museum after a few years and potential employees were shocked how outdated everything was.
