Generally speaking, making major changes in our character/passions/work etc just to please someone is not sustainable, this is true in both personal and work lives. I am facing something similar, but from a family member. In my previous job, I was asked to do QA work. I have never done QA work before - I don't mind doing it, but I didn't want to do only front end (color, pixel etc) QA work. Needless to day, it didn't work out for me and for my manager. The best thing to do in such scenarios is to just leave, if that is an option. Especially in professional situations. I have had a lot of jobs in my life - some good, some bad, some super bad. The only thing that was common in ALL these jobs was this - nobody gave a fuck about anyone else, beyond using them to get stuff done. Yes, most people are polite and nice - that doesn't mean they care about you or anyone else. This is not bitterness speaking, this is just the reality. So the best thing to do, is just leave and find a better job
