This is quickly becoming the norm in every industry. Every employer wants fewer employees to do more, without paying them more of course.
It's not just developers. I'm in web marketing and I'm expected to do front end work including creating figmas and writing code. This is along with my regular duties as a marketer.
I'm falling into that myself... It seems my boss is trying to prevent me from being Pidgeon-holed into being just a programmer.
Aka, he is diversifying my portfolio to keep me on board as an employee.
Guess it helps some full-stack'ers if they also have experience in graphics design and copywriting.
Nah your boss is just getting you to work beyond what you're paid to do.
...and that, too. Tried to look at it as an existing Jack of All Trades. Get to learn new stuff!
But yeah... I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, sometimes.
Yea, do it to fill your resume with some good points but once you're not learning anything new it's time to leave.
