whack-a-mole

whack-a-mole: noun. In a cubicle farm (at an office), the phenomenon of multiple cubicle occupants poking their head above the cubicle wall level, to see what's going on around them. The phenomenon resembles the game of whack-a-mole. Usually manifests when there has been a commotion or a computer network issue shared by multiple users.

Or (as I have just discovered) 'gophering', as listed in the urban dictionary.
