I feel like I never quite got the answer of why it doesn't work. It's also pretty nuanced.
If I have laundry, dishwashing, etc going. I am multitasking but I don't need to expend attention.
So there's certainly a threshold where multitasking becomes a problem.
In MSP world, I didn't control my own schedule. If the schedulers thought I only needed 30 minutes to do a 3 hour task. That's all you got. Some coworkers would hard limit. Put the 30 minutes in and leave the job unfinished.
The stated rule was double/triple billing; which is a felony but you know they'll throw you to the wolves if you actually break the law and get caught. However, the rule was that if you needed more time. You had to work on multiple things at once. If you did not accomplish a task, you had to set the ticket back with justification why you didn't get it done. About 25% of the time if you didnt get it done and put in a justification. Someone would come talk with you.
Not to help, but usually chastise you.
