How to use "Piecemeal" in context?
There is no one definitive definition of "piecemeal." When applied to a physical object, it typically means that the object is made up of several smaller parts that were either separately manufactured or gathered together after the object was finished.
When used in the context of work, "piecemeal" usually refers to an approach to organizational management in which tasks are divided among individual employees instead of being completed as a whole. This approach is often seen as more flexible and efficient, but it can also lead to individual employees being overextended and overwhelmed.
