CMV: Delegation is a way of pushing off work bosses don’t want to do to someone else.

I’ve had this feeling for a while (I’m a middle manager at a large retail chain store) and anytime any of us are giving tasks that complete, we come back to our boss sitting in his office playing on his phone.
Even when I’m in the middle of things that need to get done, I’m often met with “this takes priority” or “pull someone else so they can take care of this.”
We’ve talked to him about it and his response is “you don’t know how to delegate tasks properly, it’s not so much that YOU do it, but that it get’s done” which is fine, but when we are running around trying to get things sewed up, I think it’s kind of pointless to hand us something else that he then, in turn, wants us to hand down to someone else.
I’ve stopped seeing delegation as a way to get more things done and just see it as “I don’t want to do this, so I’ll hand this off to someone else under me.”
So I guess I’ll throw it on here for you guys to try and change my view. I can’t sit there and listen to another one of his “you need to delegate better to accomplish more” talk or else I may actually lose it.
