gimmicks

garbage disguised as hard work Piggybackers love gimmicks because it helps disguise their piggybacking behaviour. Often, Piggybackers spend more time writing emails (or gimmicks) than actually spending time on the actual work or task at hand. This is how you can identify a piggybacker. Typically, the piggybackers will frustrate the piggybacked with too much gimmicks to the point that the piggybacked will choose to do it himself/herself. Praising is a critical weapon in the piggybackers arsenal. Piggybacking and gimmicks are synonymous -- one cannot exist without another.
