I’ve definitely done it for exactly this reason, and others mentioned in the thread: a strong desire to not suddenly become the ______ guy. Additional responsibility with no additional authority absolutely sucks when you get (a) pigeonholed, (b) saddled with every single request ever about _______ in addition to your other work or (c) some unholy combination of both. Especially when ______ only has enough “buy in” from decision makers to make the decision that you need to keep ______ alive because the business “needs”it but apparently not enough to properly source and acquire the necessary resources it needs compared to other business initiatives. Because “why do we need to do that? I thought you knew about ______ “ Go figure. I’m quite done volunteering myself like that.
