here and there
Is anyone here ever assigned duties that generally have nothing to do with their job description? The reason that I ask is because at my bank I am often asked to do things like change light bulbs, fix broken chairs, and a lot of other "handy man" kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the fact that they can depend on me for things that are beyond the scope of being just a teller. I was just wondering if there are others like me in the banking world...

We have only two men in our office. The younger one is always being asked to do things like that. He doesn't seem to mind it though. If he wasn't around, it would be one of us ladies taking care of it. We just like to make you guys feel manly so we don't have to do it.

yes, the owners of the bank would have a cow if they walked in and saw that the desk lamps light bulbs were out, we have to go clean the trash up outside the bank we usually switch off who has to do it. When i used to open inthe mornings i would have to go around and check to see if any are out.

All over the map.
I'm the Compliance Officer. In addition, I load and repair ATM's, work as a loan teller, and work as an IT person (in a pretty limited capacity....but everyone comes to me with computer problems).

My bank makes me shovel snow and clean the bathrooms. They call me Pyle while I do it too. I don't like that much.

I had to clean feces off of a wall once because my manager told me I'd be fired if I didn't. I took the paper towels I used and put them in the top tank of the toilet and flushed. I walked out and quit on the spot. Apparently it was quite costly for them to get the toilet cleaned.

Omg, for some reason I find this hilarious. Are you serious?

I would have quit too... The things I am asked to do are never that bad, and there's no recourse if I were to say no...

Does being required to pose in nothing but a speedo for the women in the office count as an unusual job duty.

So Mr. Peepers, this is in your job description too? Must be something they require of all of us incredibly good looking male bankers.

I assume X has never been asked to do this. That is unless he works for MD.

I even have it on my resume.

Although, I don’t mention the speedo / muffin top combination.

I’m hoping drinking more lite beer will help with that.

Good move -- I notice the recruiters are looking for that more and more these days. They've asked me if I'll wear a comboy hat with it, but I don't look good in hats.

Like you haven't been required to parade around behind the teller line in only your boyshorts?

Actually they make me do it every morning, but I didn't want to say anything.

I'll have to audit your branch to make sure you're properly executing your duties.

I'm usually asked to help with moving particularly large or heavy objects.

I think the most bizarre instance of this was when I had to push a car out of the drive-thru and onto the back of a flat bed tow truck.
