If someone else doesn’t do it and it is a precursor for something you need than it is your job.
This is how people end up getting taken advantage of at their job
If I work at the deli in a grocery store, and they run out of cheese, then it’s my job to buy more cheese?
Well if you need cheese you’ll have to make cheese happen if the cheese maker and the cheese mongerer don’t come through.
Nah man it’s the deli manager’s job to make sure inventory is stocked. Simple deli worker likely doesn’t even have the authority to order more cheese.
If the deli manager doesn’t do it and you still NEED cheese than you still need to get cheese. People are not taking the word need seriously enough ^_*
You need to understand that you can’t pull cheese out your ass.
Hard disagree. It is their job, amd while not doing their job could affect me, that does not make it my job.
If I will get grief because them not doing their job holds me up, then I blame them without any hesitation, because otherwise their job would become my job if I tried to make up for them.
This assumes people are individually responsible and it is not a group effort where I should be helping them and they will be helping me. Then it is a shared job.
I kinda meant in life (like if you need to eat) but I love that everyone has healthy boundaries at work!
