This is a common way to deal with it. But the number of managers that know how to decide a task is low-priority is exceedingly small. Most only have top-priority tasks to distribute to people.
If you have somebody doing work that can appear at random (like somebody calling and saying they have a problem), that person will either be free for a fraction of time that seem high to naive people, or will have a line and take ages to help anybody approaching them.

(And yeah, I mean modern Capitalism, that appeared after the Industrial Revolution.)
