The Ever Demanding Employers (Ch 8)
I agree with the statement “employees are required to participate more fully in their jobs than was true in the past”. I noticed that in my own career. When my manager hired me two years ago, he explained what was expected of me. Now, two years later, the same tasks are expected however, he slowly added more and more tasks expecting me to continue doing what I was hired for but also pick up new things along the way. It seems to me that management is never satisfied with continuation, they always try to push employees to do more. But at the end of the day, there is only so much one can do.

I absolutely agree. When I was hired for my position the job description was very broad and non-descriptive. I wondered why this was and I soon found out. They did not put to much detail into it so that it was quite easy to add to it and it would not be outside the scope of my job description. I have been here for less than a year and I have found that each one of the people on my team do the work that two or three people could do. Our team keeps taking on or creating new projects but not adding any new headcount so the work load just keeps growing and growing and we are all already tapped out. So to add more is literally physically impossible so unfortunately certain things get put on the back burner.
You know, this may sound insane, but I sometimes have wished that this was true of my job. Of course we would all like to get paid more for doing more, and I am getting the distinct impression that greenbacks are not following the additional workload. But in my area of labor, job duties are specifically outlined, and they rarely change. So work is but a monotonous and irritating process. After a period of time, like 8 years, an employee, like one who is en route to a master's degree, can feel quite worthless and unchallenged. (But I can't complain overmuch, less demand means more available time--in theory)
