I’m working on a short-term contract (I have less than 2 months left) & someone on the team I joined just quit. My boss is expecting me to ‘step up’ and cover her work. I don’t want to extend the contract long term (so don’t want to be a team player) & want to tell them no - they’re paying me for the old role, not the original role + the role I now need to cover.
