urgentosis

/ˌɜːdʒənˈtəʊsɪs/nounVerified New

The chronic condition of treating every task as urgent until urgency itself means nothing.

Red flags multiply, "ASAP" appears in subject lines for routine matters, and genuine emergencies arrive pre-diluted. Urgentosis is catching: one team's false alarms reset everyone's thresholds.

Etym. — urgent + -osis (as in neurosis): urgency as a progressive medical condition of the workplace.
