What's an idiom about office bureaucracy, is it office ping-pong or office football?
What's an idiom related to sport and office procrastinators, when officials do not want to deal with a document and resend it among departments? It has something to do with a game of ping pong or football, as they pass this document to each other like a ball in a game, but I'm not sure...

I agree with Lyn. I don't think there is an idiom using either of those terms but you could make your own readily understandable simile using 'office ping-pong': 'It's ridiculous the way these papers keep being sent back and forth. It's like office ping-pong.'

Hello!
I cannot find any information about idioms regarding office bureaucracy to do with either of these but I imagine that you could say "office ping-pong" because the game of ping-pong involves a little ball going back and forth in a very repetitive motion and with a very repetitive sound and "office bureaucracy" often involves information, instructions, or the shuffling of people, back and forth so it would be like a ping-pong game - hence "office ping-pong".
I hope that helps!
