    I once worked a call centre during late shift and my manager asked us to clean the bathrooms. I told him they can hire a janitor because I won’t be cleaning anything since I wasn’t hired to clean. Didn’t have to clean the bathrooms. Sometimes standing up for yourself works

      Depends on the job, and how good your read is of the situation. My experience has been that managers guilt trip or do other emotional games when they’re out of other options. In that case, it may be a safe bet to stand up to them.

      Other places you’re more replaceable, or the manager doesn’t care and has an axe to grind. Then it’s trickier.
