I do billing at a mid sized office, invoice, payment logs, spreadsheets, real thrilling stuff. It’s not technically my job to answer phones, but when reception’s drowning, i usually help out, or…. used to.

Last week my manager goes “Let’s stick to what’s actually in your job description, alright? Just focus on billing” sure thing, sounds like less hassle for me. So that’s what i did, phone rings? Not my problem. Someone asking for help up front? Not my lane, i just kept tapping away at payable like it was life or death.

By day two our office manager’s practically spinning plates trying to keep up, my boss glances at me like he’s waiting for me to tag in. I just said “just doin billing, like you said” he just nodded. Hasn’t brought it up again and yep, that job description’s now taped to my monitor, front and center.
