No. My job is XYZ and I get paid to do XYZ. If you want extra, you can pay extra. Too many jobs will ask you to do something and expect you to now do it everyday on top of your regular duties. Then when they see you keeping up, they will keep adding more without any benefit to you. Extra work, extra pay or hire more people to get the job done. Simple as that.
Also, no one will think of your career. Does the peripheral job duties help in learning new skills? If manager is a mentor, no one would want to say no.
When your supervisor is saying; it's not my job; obviously the employees are going to mimic it, therefore someone higher in the chain should be acknowledging the employees whom are going above and beyond and doing all they can do.
Did you not agree to the pay/benefits upon hire? IF an employer is up front with you on their expectations, wage, and benefits on the front end they are entitled to have this attitude. There is nothing wrong with your managers having expectations of you.
My "Not My Job" experience was after a newer manager had personal issues speaking directly with the black employees about there jobs and performance. He would ask me regularly to do what was clearly others jobs while they stood around because he was uneasy around them even after he hired them over the last year. We work close and its a team effort to get the parts out. We as a group talk and they feel they are getting over on him, but I'm picking up the slack. I work in a factory that makes car parts. Yes, I have quit this job.
Thank you so much Joe! I recently got a management position and being in that position I'm not sure if I'm ready for it. My team makes these comments regularly and now I know how to respond! One step closer to becoming a great leader :)
But it really is not my job. I have a lot of work to do. My colleagues resigned one by one and I voluntarily did some of their works while waiting for their replacements. My boss saw that I am doing a good job with other people's works so they ended up not hiring replacements for my colleagues. Now, I feel burned out having to do an all around-job in our small company. I am almost always the one and only person who goes to office diligently and is rarely absent for work. We're down to 2 office employees. My salary? Same as other people working for a different company but has a lot of colleagues and they work as a team.
I have no problem bringing up a chain of command. When something is needed to be done outside my regular day to day activities, should I not have the right to ask why I'm being asked to do something I usually don't do? Sometimes you have to protect yourself as a employee that you're not being "set up" Or manipulated by toxic workplace that brings little to no satisfaction. Not doing your task is considered insubordination. What legal rights do you have as an employee working in workplace politics when you know the same task isn't being followed by other employees and it's okay if others don't follow through the same task? Is that discrimination or favoritism? And how would you prove that? Hmmmm... 🤔
Come on you guys, these comments are unreasonably horrible. I've been on both sides of the fence. On one hand I was working for a company that had me training managers, when I was an operator. This was of course a bit much and I felt as if I wasn't being valued and paid my worth, so I went some where that I was valued. On the other hand I've worked in a management role and I have told employees to clean up their work stations during downtime or before they leave and go home. In return their response was that they are not janitors. A lot of people choose to be lazy and feel like somehow they are justified for not wanting to step outside of the zero efforts boundary that they are accustom to doing. If you are being treated unfairly, report it or quit, but don't sit up and demand 5 star services or products when you have adults thinking similarly not wanting to do what it takes to make or become the best. If it's not your job let me pay you crumbs and then the person that's going to clean their station will excel above you. Don’t cry wolf when you’re making your own cave of manure.

If an employer wants to give me more work, I'll take it. However, because you're giving more responsibilities on top of my current duties, you're going to have to wait longer than you usually would for those particular projects. I'm not inclined to increase the pace of my work to get two projects done, and if you really need this project to be done in a timely manner, I will do so with fair compensation.

You should offer more pay and or benefits, ya jerks

Some people say "that's not my job" with so much attitude, it seems they are looking to get fired.

"That's not my job. Talk to my union rep." Shuts them up real quick. Respect the job description.
Which is why I would never hire or be involved with garbage union employees like you.
Joe, did you have a career where ass-kissing was a requirement?

This is a good way to lose employees lmfao
