Not to ruin your day or single you out but those people make you take pictures off of the camera because they know you'll do it. If it's not your responsibility just say "I'll try" and then never do it or people will walk all over you. It's their rear end not yours.

WarLocke posted:This. Get your responsibilities in writing. Not some generic 'be a team player' stuff, that's a license to use and abuse you. Get specific responsibilities on paper, and pull it out when they want you to do something new. Hell, get everything in writing. That's not what I mean. If your boss tells you to do something and you're "that's not my job" guy you're the first guy getting fired when work gets tight. If your peers ask you to get pictures off the camera all the time you need to ignore them until it's easier for them to do it themselves. It's a dick move not to help out but if you do you'll always be their bitch. Don't do that "teach a man to fish" bullshit either. If you teach them how to do it they'll still come to you because you're the expert. Be unhelpful to anyone not signing your paycheck who dumps work on you. Edit: distinguish between smart and stupid people at work. If people who are smart and helpful or just particularly friendly need a favor I'll drop what I'm doing to help them because they're smart and will help me if I need it.

Think of it more as being an efficient resource. CornHolio is an engineer with an engineering degree. He can do more valuable things than download photos from a camera. He probably also prefers doing engineering work to mindless bullshit. His interests and the company's interests are aligned. His stupid coworkers and politeness are making him unhappy.
