Actually we have(or had?) another, more common wording for that sort of bureaucraZy: Schreibtischpingpong where you are the ball being table tennised from desk to desk :) I never heard 'Büroflipper', which comes to mind when thinking about this. Being the ball in a pin ball machine. Probably because it's too fast, compared to the latencies in real life. But that would apply to Schreibtischpingpong, too.
