Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm with you. The company is paying you for your time and if learning a new task is what you're getting paid for, great. If they "punish" you for it, for example "now you have to stay late and finish your other work" or you get dinged for not meeting your regular metrics, then they're full of shit. But if the request is simply please take care of this thing because we don't have an expert to can, then you just do it. I don't get what the issue is. It's interesting new stuff you get to learn.

However to be honest, I am in management and I manage a team of engineers, and I expect to them to be flexible individuals. Sometimes they're doing technical drawings, sometimes new development, sometimes assembling prototypes with tweezers, sometimes they're learning new software, and sometimes they have to create renders for customer presentations. If any of them gave me shit about "not my responsibility" I'd be pretty pissed off because IMHO an engineer needs to be a flexible individual especially in a small company.

Apparently, you're the only one who gets it. I guess the others either aren't engineers (yet) or only work in huge corporations where there's a department for everything.

I'm in a small company, too. Those cannot survive if people aren't flexible in their tasks and in my opinion that's far more interesting work than being a cubicle drone.
