I feel I have a special perspective on this, being at the cusp of millennials and zoomers. It's not so much that "it's not my job" it's more "I've been so conditioned that anyone and everyone will take advantage of me and I refuse to give them any sort of foothold to do so."

I love learning, and I do plenty of things outside of my job scope, and see the benefit of learning those skills. However, I absolutely see where they're coming from and have learned that the hard way too that allowing yourself to be trained on other things usually doesn't mean you now do those things, it means to management that you now do your job plus those things, and get paid the same.

Coffee is $5 a cup if you want cream and sugar, I can understand looking out for #1

Learning how things work is the #1 priority if you don't want to be taken advantage of.
