No thank you to that coworker whose "extra tasks" alter management's expectations of everyone! This thread was posted to Reddit by u/ineedatinylama, who would frequently clean up the communal office space at the end of each work day after finishing up their daily tasks.
Seems nice enough, but the problem with this arose when the Redditor was swamped with work duties one week and their manager started to notice that the communal office space hadn't been cleaned. When OP explained to her that they weren't able to do that extra work this week given their current responsibilities, the manager then unloaded all of those tasks onto the Redditor's coworkers. You could imagine that the coworkers were not too happy about this. They wound up almost resigning altogether before the manager understood that she went too far.
