This doesn’t seem real. Maybe it’s a distraction to engage people who spend a lot of time on things like this so they don’t get involved in real activities and gum up the works.
I’ve seen this used where there is an anti-productive person who makes other people waste time. When there’s one of these on a project, it can be a real drain. But if there’s two, you can plug them into each other and they’ll sort of create a perpetual motion machine of stupidity of important sounding make work.
It’s important to set a task so it doesn’t suck in others. But forming a committee on conference room naming or something might work.
Cynically, I suspect I’ve been out on these types of tasks. So any time I’m stuck on a Sisyphean task, I try to step back and see if I’ve been stuck on ark ship B [0].
