What you just got assigned because you asked a question in the meeting.
A task assigned to a specific person or team for follow-up. A to-do list bullet that will haunt your inbox forever because everyone will "circle back" but no one will actually do it. Usually assigned in meetings to make it look like progress is happening. Will resurface in three months when someone panics about missed deadlines.
"Great meeting! Now here are 15 action items we’ll all pretend to work on until the next meeting."
