I agree with you on this one. The worst experiences I have had at work were when I was asked to do stuff outside of what I was supposed to be doing, and got taken advantage of, then ultimately blamed for things that went wrong, over which I had little control. The people who did well in this environment were the ones who were judicious about what they did. They were assessing which projects their bosses actually cared about and working on projects they had enough control over to affect the outcome in a good way. It is hard to say no to things, but it is something you have to learn to do diplomatically in the work place or else you will get burned out and you will get stuck holding the bag. And, I'm early 50s, not a millennial. It isn't about entitlement, it is about knowing when someone is trying to take advantage of you. And I guarantee you if someone gets you to do the crap work on a project, that they are supposed to be doing or that they are supposed to be managing well, they will not give you enough resources to do the job right and they will blame you if it goes poorly, even if you did not have control over the outcome.
