'I won't be doing anything out of my job description': Warehouse employee gets in trouble for doing extra work, maliciously complies and causes whole company to go under

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that it really is not worth it to take on someone else's job responsibilities on top our own duties. 

The first big reason is that if something goes awry, you will likely be blamed despite the fact that you were just trying to provide additional support. Secondly, you will also be taken for granted, and soon enough, your boss will be expecting you to handle those responsibilities on the day-to-day without any promotion or increased salary. Sure, some folks think showing that level of dedication will lead to a promotion. However, nine times out of ten, that mentality is justification for providing free labor.
