A coworker is starting to eat into my job role. They say they do all the things I do & are learning on the side how to make it happen. Our agency encourages people to not feel tied to their role-CONT

21 Laws of Power this.

Learning what they do has its limits, but learning to criticize and CD them is unlimited. The moment they do what you “suggest” they are now subordinating to you. Your leverage on them increased and you can now inform you boss/manager you are not only a leader, but now have a follower.

Team up with them, learn their motives and use it to your advantage. If they are terrified to lose a job, want a raise, or truly want your job. Point them away from you and support them as they clearly have support. Don’t be “that” person. Haters stand out.

If you have a co-worker who is doing your job while also doing their job...maybe you could start doing a better job so you don’t fear losing your role at the agency to someone who is apparently learning to do everything you do and doing it all while holding an entirely different position? I mean, idk...I hope that’s not callous. I just can’t imagine being in this position and thinking “how do I hold them back?” and not “how do I make myself more essential so they can never take my place.”

I was and still am the one who "does another person's job". Americans are so funny about this: stay in your lane, my job not your job, your job not my job. What the heck?

If we are in this together, what do you have to worry about?

I also get bored very easily. I can't do one thing and one thing only... the people I work with also get bored very easily. So, we go around, swapping duties, swapping projects... learning how to do each others job and growing our skillsets.

Mm.. could make sense. I'm in a media agency.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
