Unfortunately that’s not how it works.

Boss turns around and says “new responsibilies. Get after them.” You’re especially fucked if the work is the type of tasks you are already responsible for.

Sure, you can say no, or slow play it, but that just means you’ll either get a shitty review or get fired.

I’m not justifying this, I’m recounting what often happens.

Downvotes are hilarious. Doesn’t matter if you line it, it’s how it happens around the world.
