In my company I do most things. I am just a copywriter for a marketing agency but I've been tasked with many other things, including video editing, which I've never done. I'm sure someone quit recently but they don't want to say who it was yet, they're scared other people may wanna quit too.

That's not right, many companies saturate their employees by overworking them just because they are capable of doing it. It is not right, each worker has a job and should not accept to do work that belongs to someone else.

I agree, it's becoming way too common for businesses to take advantage of people like this.

Being a copywriter is one hell of a job, though. It really allows you to work in any company out there, because especially nowadays, with social media and everything going digital, companies of all types require good copywriters for their online presence. Even if you do end up leaving, you can find work somewhere else.

If I were you, I would talk to my manager and I would ask what's up. Did you sign an employee contract when joining the company? If you did, go over it and see what your responsibilities were listed as, and talk to someone and either ask for a raise or walk.

If they keep giving unrelated tasks to people, they can be guaranteed that more people will quit.
