So I've seen talk in this sub about companies adding on duties to roles after being onboarded, and generally I've seen the consensus be that that is bullshit and shouldn't happen. I guess I'm looking for advice on when you believe an additional responsibility is okay, or when that addition is just the worker being taken advantage of.
To be honest, I can't really tell when I'm being taken advantage of. I'm neurodivergent and struggle with reading between the lines. I like to be a team player, but generally when I start a job I ask for a very detailed outline of what my role entails. I like structure, so when I get an add on it can frustrate me. My fear is that this anger is sometimes irrational, because I also don't want to be an asshole. But for example, I was very clear with my current job about what I didn't want to do. I was told what the job entails and made sure that that was all I would do. Now things are being added on because it's considered “in my scope”, but I don't really see how they are. I'm sales, and a lot of it is operational stuff. I could do it, no problem. I have experience with it. I just don't feel like I'm paid to do it? Idk.
I just want to be a good person and coworker, but it's also exhausting feeling crazy over this. Anyone have some guidance? I know my wording can be convoluted, so I'm happy to clarify anything. I left out some context to keep it from getting too long
