Not My Job

The people that ask the question, 'Does this apply to me?' strike me as folks that want to be involved. It seems that they would enjoy special circumstances and things that only apply to them. Then again, perhaps they are only asking the question because they want to ensure that they are off the hook for that particular task/moment.

There is another group of people that I find far more annoying...the 'Not my job' people. In the amount of time it takes people to push back, they could have fixed the problem.

'You're right asswipe, you weren't the one that fucked it up. But you are part of the group that fucked it up so I am betting that you have the ability to fix it.'

And does it really make these people sleep better at night knowing that they avoided helping someone because they were afraid of a little ownership?

You know who instantly came to mind when I read this? Roger. And I'm pretty sure he's painting stripes on streets these days.

Does it apply to me?
