I was hired to manage schedules and travel, but today my boss asked me to go to her house and wait for the plumber because she didn't want to waste her billable hours. When I politely reminded her that my contract is for corporate support, she told me I was being inflexible and that she expected more from a partner-track employee. I feel like a glorified servant rather than a professional, and the goalposts for what my job actually is seem to move every single morning. Is other duties as assigned just a legal loophole for them to treat us like personal valets?

What is a “partner-track” employee?

“Other duties as assigned” is meant to cover reasonable, job-related tasks, not personal errands like waiting at someone’s house for a plumber, which crosses into a different role entirely. While expectations can stretch in fast-paced environments, consistently shifting into personal service work, especially outside your stated scope, is a red flag, not standard practice. You’re not being inflexible; you’re recognizing a boundary that many professionals would question.
