About this episode

This episode explores the mindset behind phrases like 'it's not my job' and discusses the underlying issues that lead to such responses in the workplace.

This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about the mindset behind phrases like “it’s not my job” and “that’s not in my job description.” When those words show up, they usually point to something deeper—unclear expectations, frustration, lack of trust, burnout, or a disconnect between the individual and the organization. In this episode, we explore what may be happening beneath those responses, what employees should think about before saying them, and what leaders can do to better understand the issue and redirect the conversation. From frontline employees to managers to executives, this episode offers practical insight for anyone wanting to find the balance between healthy boundaries and shared responsibilities.
