WTF is wrong with them. In this case, it's Definitly not a control thing or a seniority thing in this case. This person has been told by coworker's and managers for the past 3 weeks and still only just did it today. All he had to do was ask someone to edit one word on a document. 3 weeks for fricking that.

The person in question apparently didn't perceive the task as a high priority.

Having said that, people who actually execute tasks work at varying rates. For instance, women are notorious for taking a long time to get ready to do many things due to appearance consciousness while men often do a simple task like walking the dog without even thinking about brushing their hair.
