I came across this phrase while translating a document from English to Spanish. Anyone has any idea what this could mean?

Explanation:
Bienvenida a ProZ.com.

Sin más contexto esto es bastante difícil, pero sugiero lo que anoto, basado en esto:

http://www.pseudodictionary.com/search.php?letter=c&browsest...

cob - To describe a state of upset or dissatisfaction which results in lack of communication between two people

e.g., "Don't cob on me again." OR "That's it! I'm cobbing on you now!"

cob3
NOUN
in phrase have" or "get a cob on
British
informal
Be or get annoyed.

‘he used to go on holiday when the band were due to appear on TV (Mac'd get a real cob on about it)’

La segunda frase me suena como "fall between chairs", o sea, que nadie toma responsabilidad por hacer la tarea. En este caso, lo contrario.

Saludos cordiales.

De nada, un placer.

Sí, entonces entiendo como he sugerido, es decir, que los "roles" o las funciones de los trabajos no "molestan" o no crean fricciones entre sí, y al mismo tiempo que no hay tareas que se quedan sin hacer, pues "esa funcion" "is not my yyob"... (no es mi trabajo... ;-)

Explanation:
Solo otra opción;

Cob: (transitive) British informal
to beat, esp on the buttocks
https://www.google.es/amp/s/www.collinsdictionary.com/amp/en...

A method of building and/or installation of a particular item with utter disregard for manufacturer's instructions, resulting in the item's total failure.
https://www.google.es/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.p...

Diría que la idea del original es que los distintos roles laborales, las distintas funciones asignadas a cada trabajador, no choquen entre sí, no se superpongan, "no se den de patadas" entre sí.
Y que ninguna tarea quede sin asignar, sin responsable, sin alguien cuya función incluya su realización, implícita o explícitamente.
Y ahora, regresando al tono informal de la expresión original, por ejemplo;

Que los roles no se peguen y que ninguna tarea se escurra / se escape entre distintas funciones.


Ahora sí es cuestión de elegir la expresión que mejor te suene en el contexto...
