If they really needed to get around to doing that, the boss would've already hired another employee to do that task.
Not doing so implies that paying someone just for that task wouldn't be worth it.
That does not change when a worker becomes available from somewhere else.
This one made me laugh pretty hard, very great joke hahahaha
(Almost always, no, no one was hired to do the thing, its been on the backlog for a year now but everyone is way too busy to do it)
If the boss has no problem keeping it on the backlog forever, then apparently it isn't an issue worth dealing with.
You missed the part where the employee was the one saying it was important, not the boss. And a lot of those tasks aren’t things you can just hand off to a new person, anyway - e.g., tech debt on software.
