Why do some people take so long to do things that take 5 minutes if you’re lazy?

As an example, I finished a project with a deadline in July and all my manager needs to go press 3 buttons and write 2 words but she didn’t start doing this hard work yet and I know her whole job is to sit at the office and forward work to me and then click 3 buttons…

Like please ma’am click them so I can start my weekend worries-free!

You finished it in July and she still hasn't responded!

No it’s due next July and I finished it now, however it will not considered done until she do her part (basically approve it, and there’s no testing because it’s either working or not). It’s not just her, I noticed this with other people too, many people take too long to do a task that takes minutes if they put a little effort

Guys
Any idea like how much time is normal for project to be assigned for new hire in deloitte. Is it something to worry if not within the 15 days of joining. Views pls.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
