You're really hung up about this 'not in the job description' thing. If you see a small fire in the cubicle next door, I guess you'll just ignore it cause putting out fires wasn't in the job description. Neither is looking out for fires and reporting it, so just let it burn.

You won't last the probation period working with us, thank god for that. I'd hate to be in an office full of people who only does what's in their job descriptions and never anything else. We hire people who care about each other and help each other in difficult periods. That's one of the reasons our employee retention is so high.

EDIT: If I thought that cleaning a toilet was for some reason the most valuable thing I could do for the company right now, I would do it.



You sound like a terrible employer.


Why? Because we want people who act like humans instead of corporate robots? Because we care about people who care about each other?
