When more of a company’s valued resources - its employees - practice this, the culture and the company thrives. I’ve witnessed and experienced this in every company I’ve worked for when this is practiced and sadly when it isn’t. When it isn’t the employees and the company lose valuable opportunities.
Attitudes like this lead to abuse, crunch, and erosion of #employeerights . When a job is posted, there is a description listing the responsibilities of the employees, the duration and scope of work, and the #remuneration due.
If an employer asks you to go beyond the job description by adding responsibilities that fall under the category of "not my job" then do not do them! Employees need to be compensated for their labor. It is not uncooperative to show up and do the job that you are paid to do. It is unethical for an employer to pay you for less than what you are doing. Telling someone that they need to go beyond their job description for the same pay is exploitative.
There is nuance to this issue- #startup companies, small agile teams, and rare circumstances. A startup company has very loosely defined job descriptions, many hats, tons of work, strange hours, but an enormous reward if the startup succeeds. And it will succeed, the original founders or employees will make a lot off money, then the startup will evolve into a regular company. Small and agile teams are purpose built for solving problems that the company doesn't know the answer to. The team members are expected to color outside the lines (and quickly) to figure out what needs to be done. Then, sometimes, something unexpected will happen. Jill from Accounting has been killed in one of those warehouse fires that seem to always be happening in #Accounting textbooks. Now we need to calculate the accounts receivable based on sales ratios. Bill is in accounts payable, but close enough. Someone needs to get this bit done before end of the month, then the company will hire Jane to replace Jill. Bill will see a bump in pay while he's handling what were Jill's responsibilities before she was sent to the big retirement community in the sky.
There are also highly motivated individuals that go above and beyond the call of duty. They are not doing this to be a "team player" or a "member of the family." They are agents acting in their own self interest for the purpose of growing their skill set or seeking promotion. Translation: they want more money! When performance reviews come up and their increased efforts are not met with increased pay, they're going to leave and join an outfit that properly values them.
I could go on about this, but y'all get the point. I'm sick of hearing about how people "don't want to work anymore" or are "quiet quitting." What #employers need to understand is that people do want to work, just not at the rates that they are paying them. Our supposed labor shortage would end if companies paid an attractive and #competitive wage. People would join the workforce- not leave it. Putting the onus of "lazy, arrogant" or "entitled" poisons the conversation and infantilizes employees. It is arrogant to look down on them in that way. It is entitled to expect more than what they are being paid to do. It is lazy to not take the time to understand your own employees.
