is by sarcasm spelunker boss says just do your job i say as you wish i work at a tech company and my official job is fairly simple and i find that i have free time decently often my unofficial extra jobs used to be monitoring the morale level in the office and doing things to bring up said morale also doing tech support on the computers in the office so it doesn't have to deal with it mostly because i'm faster than they are at getting things going again assuming the problem isn't hardware related and often enough helping out other departments when i have the time a promotion comes up i apply for it the boss gives it to someone who had only been hired a few months ago i was annoyed at this because i'd been working there for much longer and my evaluations were always glowing another promotion comes up i get denied again in favor of another person who's only been there for a few months three more promotions come up and my boss always gives the new people the promotions at this point several people who have been hired around the same time that i have all quit to seek opportunity elsewhere and many of the people who got promoted also quit because they use their promotion to get a better job elsewhere also the boss likes to send an email with a bs canned denial letter with some official reason as to why you were not seated i eventually decided to confront my boss about it so i just bluntly ask what am i doing wrong why are people who have been recently hired getting promotions over me the boss couldn't answer he stumbles and stutters for about two minutes like the sniveling pencil neck he is eventually just blurts out look you don't have much experience in dealing with people below you and i really need you to just do your job alright as you wish now anytime someone asks me if i can get their computer monitor printer etc working properly again i tell them to ask tech support my bi-weekly delivery of homemade confections has come to an end and i no longer lift a finger to help other departments even when i do have the extra time tech support can take a surprisingly long time to get around to our department something i could have done in NUMBER_TOKEN minutes will take them an hour or more it's also a three-person apartment in a fairly large office building my boss pulls me into his office a while back and asked me if i have a problem i told him i don't have a problem he then reminds me of all the things that i used to do that i suddenly don't do anymore then makes the mistake of asking me why i suddenly stopped i told him that none of those were part of my job description and that i only did those things as a courtesy but since he told me to just do my job and strongly hinted that i'm to go no further in the company i'm going to just do what is part of my official job description from now on he went from having a poop eating grin smirk on his face ready to tear into me for my sudden change in demeanor to realizing that he can't say a darn thing because he knows that he can't order me to do anything outside of my official job description and that he screwed himself and his entire department over by basically
