    Boss asks employee to pick up her keys at another office off the clock, refuses to admit it's wage theft: 'No, I am not her personal assistant'

    This worker found herself in a tricky situation when her boss asked her to do something off the clock. Sometimes you have to go above and beyond for your job. You have to do things that aren't exactly in your job description to show that you're a team player. But these moments should be taken with extreme care. You should never feel obligated to do these tasks. You should feel like you're doing them out of your own desire to contribute. Where things get dicey is when employers consistently ask things of their workers that are above and beyond the regular scope of their jobs. What this ends up feeling like is disrespect for their workers' time, energy, and skills. But on the other hand, sometimes stuff comes up in a job that you can't always anticipate. 

    You might need to do some odd jobs here and there just to make sure the wheels keep turning. That's what happened in this situation, where an annoying task came up, and instead of just doing it herself, the manager offloaded it onto one of her employees. But she refused to acknowledge that it was real work that should be treated as such.
