Is it normal for a company to have you create in depth training recordings for your position?
A bit of background. Our department trainer recently and unfortunately passed away. This morning I received a notification chat that I have been selected to create in depth recordings of my day to day job for training purposes.
It sounds like a very sugar coated way of saying I am being asked to create training material for new hires even though my job title or description has nothing to do with training. They did not mention any incentive with taking on this new task.
This would not be frustrating to me if my workload was sustainable, however I am doing the workload of two people and drowning in emails, tasks, etc.
I feel like a total ass if I decline but I genuinely feel like I don’t have the time to spare or the desire to take on this new “opportunity”.
Anyways, I wanted to see if this was the norm for office life.
