The place i work in doesn’t have an actual onsite manager, it’s just me and my coworker. He’s more physically capable, but computers are a foreign language to him; i can handle the physical work, but I’m slower than he is, but I’m much much better with computers.

Because of this it feels like I’ve become the DeFacto manager, or at least the person who gets lumped with the jobs that a manager or administrator would typically be assigned. Ì haven’t checked yet if my contact explicitly states that these are amongst my duties, but i would guess not, and my job title “records management specialist” is a bit ambiguous.

Recently I’m being asked to do logistical work that i feel is above what could really be expected of someone in a ground-level, hands on position. But i can’t say with certainty that it’s not stuff that’s reasonable to expect of someone in my position, and that it’s not just that i don’t want to do it.

    Then check. If what they are asking is not in your job description. Don’t do it.

    Seriously, you will have to push back on this. It is standard middle management bullshit to push as much of their work on to those below them.
