Sometimes, you're asked to take on responsibilities outside your job role—either due to staff shortage or assumptions. While flexibility is a good trait, consistently doing others’ jobs can lead to burnout and resentment. The key is to stay professional while protecting your boundaries.
Instead of saying, “That’s not my job,” try: “I’d love to help, but I’m currently focused on [task/project]. Perhaps someone in [relevant department] can assist?” It shows you’re respectful, but not a pushover. Setting limits respectfully can boost your confidence and command respect.
