I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

I would say something like this: "I appreciate you thinking of me for this project, however, I'm afraid I'm already at full capacity with my current commitments and wouldn't be able to give it the attention and dedication it deserves. Thank you for understanding."
Discuss exactly what you would be doing as that extra workload. If you have the general skill set to perform those tasks, I’d say why not do them, especially if you plan to stay with the company for several years. Just make sure the pay increase correlates reasonably to the increased workload.
You first say you want to sit down and determine what exactly they want from you since what they're asking for is outside your expertise.
Know this: If you get offered a chance for more responsibilities and turn it down, you very likely will be remembered as not wanting extra responsibilities, and will be treated as such the next time extra responsibilities and the benefits that come with them are up for grabs. If you turn this down, dust off your resume and get ready to find a new job elsewhere, as you are very likely locking yourself out of advancement opportunities where you are.
I learned my lesson, on my previous company i did lot of things besides my core duties. Over the time yes I knew every function. But from company point of view, you are an employee and adds little to the job stability. Since you know lot and you worked on lot of issues, now you are a history man and after 10 years you will be dealing with issues here and there and it becomes a stressful job. Stay away.
How about you tell them: “I’m happy to help, but my plate’s already full. Can you help me to prioritize?”
I believe that communicating your issues to your management and the team would be the best course of action. You can be open and honest about your workload and your capacity to effectively balance both responsibilities. You could also give ideas on how to help you with the new role. To reduce your burden, for instance, you may request more resources or assistance from other team members.
. You could propose a few solutions, such as hiring a marketing specialist or having other team members take on some of the marketing tasks. You don't have to do everything
You could also suggest that the company focus on developing a marketing strategy before expanding the workload. This will help ensure that the company is making the most of its resources and that your workload is manageable.
It's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of taking on additional responsibilities on top of your current workload. Here are some steps you can take to address the situation:
Talk to your supervisor: Schedule a meeting with your supervisor to discuss your concerns about taking on the marketing responsibilities in addition to your current community manager role. Explain your workload and the tasks you are already responsible for and how you believe adding marketing responsibilities will impact your ability to do your job effectively. Ask if there is any flexibility in the role or if they can provide additional resources or support to help you manage both roles.
Clarify expectations: If you decide to take on the marketing responsibilities, it's important to clarify expectations with your supervisor. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the scope of the new responsibilities, your goals and objectives, and any deadlines or expectations for deliverables.
Prioritize your workload: Look at your current workload and prioritize your tasks based on importance and urgency. Consider delegating some of your current responsibilities to other team members or outsourcing some of your work to free up time for the new marketing responsibilities.
Develop a plan: Once you have a clear understanding of your new responsibilities and how they fit into your current workload, develop a plan to manage your time effectively. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable chunks and set realistic goals and deadlines for each task.
Get training or support: If you feel like you need additional training or support to do the marketing role effectively, don't be afraid to ask for it. Consider taking an online course or attending a workshop to build your skills and knowledge.
Remember, it's important to communicate your concerns and limitations with your supervisor and to prioritize your workload to avoid burnout. If you feel like the workload is becoming unmanageable or if you are being asked to take on responsibilities outside of your scope or expertise, it may be time to reevaluate the situation and consider other options.
