I’m a quiet quitter. Trying to do the minimum, low stress, no drama. Go home and get paid. Not trying to overachieve. I want to do my job and go home.
My manager is an old head. I feel like mentioning that to start this off. He’s very old school.
Anyways, he didn’t even ask but sent out an email that I will be doing an additional job task. Honestly, this job task is out of my scope of work. It makes no sense why I’m doing it, even others have agreed when I told them. Also, I doubt this is coming with a promotion. Nothing was mentioned. Should I even ask?
What is the proper way to say decline this? I want to keep my job but I also want to make it known that I’m not there to go above and beyond and I’m not there to do more than I need to. I want to make sure he doesn’t try delegating more tasks to me in the future.
I’ve thought about replying and saying:
Thanks for the opportunity but this doesn’t fit my scope of work as a “my position here”. I have a lot of work to keep me busy.
Any advice? Anything more to add? Again, I want to make sure I put my foot down now to avoid future delegations. Thanks!
