This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean it doesn't sound like they're seeking 'extra' work, because Anon is not doing any work at all. I'd argue there's a difference between 'extra work' and 'any work'.
They're not meeting expectations either because the expectation for their role is unlikely to be 'doing fuck all', the expectation is doing whatever job is outlined in their JD, which they're demonstrably not.
Again, I don't really care either way. Do what you can get away with, but be cognisant of the risks, and how that might affect your future employability otherwise you may find yourself doing nothing because you don't have a job at all.
I agree that anon shouldn't have given away their existing tasks. And that being fired is the likely end of this road.
Just clarifying that if you are doing your stated tasks, you aren't in some sort of legal violation by not seeking more work. You.might get passed over for a later promotion, or deemed as dead weight in a layoff round, but you aren't doing anything criminal
