My boss is asking me to do someone else’s task while they’re out on medical leave. This is the 2nd thing I’m having to take over for someone since someone else left to another dept.
I am already on the job search looking for a better job. But, he doesn’t know that(obvi). I get annoyed that they keep thinking I can take over anything without compensation.

Yes they will. Everytime he asks you to do that, ask him which task you should stop working on so that you can take up this one.

You are not supposed to take over, the entire team is supposed to take over. Just ask your boss which tasks to de-prioritise and which one to prioritize. There is actually a course on LinkedIn learning about this.

Ok so he is asking me to do 1 of the tasks so far… but I have a feeling slowly they will add more

I actually have a handover meeting tomorrow. This is horrible up, they are planning to give me an extra monthly task. And if they insist, I am going to ask for compensation. But I will tell you what will happen after tomorrow's meeting and see whether my strategy works.

I would have a chat with your manager. THat is not fair to you.

Got an offer for Atlassian Canada - senior product manager. Initial offer is 160k base +15% annual bonus (24k) + 20k sign on bonus. RSU is 220k USD payable over next 4 years. There's no RRSP match (401k match equivalent). Considering its Atlassian, and current market rate, I think base is low. I would like it to be bumped upto to 180k. The recruiter earlier said the top of the pay range is 165k, which I feel is not really top but maybe median? Help me negotiate please; historically suck at it.
