For my current job, I would say I only do perhaps 25% of what was originally advertised from the initial job posting. It seems as if the other 75% just came about and was really not what I had signed up for. What about yourself??
if it isnt listed, they cant force us unless volunteer. hell, if something spills on ground, union has us call environmental services so the person who was hired to sweep does their job. there isnt even a broom/dust pan kept in area. need to use a makeshift cardboard box to scoop something up.
unless there is paperwork signing you off to do something, it isnt your thing to do, find the correct person, yeah, i dont remember if this is like how it is everywhere else anymore. i recall running around doing random things before, now i hurry the phone call and wait for the other people

About 100%
My job is limited in scope, I won't be doing outside projects, no team collaboration on anything. I'm just running my job of testing printers and the loading of media and removal and tagging....
Depends on how you read it. Either 100% or zero %. On the one hand the thing is written so broad it doesn't define anything, so just about anything could fit under it. But nothing I do is actually described in it. It's useless both as a means to define my job and as a means to recruit new hires because it doesn't separate out the actual needed skills for what I really do from just about everything else.

All and more. I actually wrote it when I had HR evaluate my position for an upgrade from supervisor to manager. Since then I have had to add other duties, mostly related to projects involving multiple departments.
My first objective at any place I have worked is to bring in lots of project money from external sources so my boss leaves me alone and my resume always looks good enough to jump ship if he/she doesn't. Most consultants operate this way if they want to survive. Twice, I've been told by new managers that the work I was bringing in no longer fit the long-term plan. Goodbye. The best firm i ever worked for was run by a man who didn't believe in long-term plans. He once told me that the worst thing about consulting was having to actually do the projects. That was a great place, but he left and the firm was reorganized in a pyramid structure. Good bye.
0%. I was switched from my original job duties to tasks that were incredibly boring and monotonous recently. It has been a depressing experience, since my replacement is given props for how great she is, and due to factors beyond my control, I wasn't able to make the small improvements I needed in my original job duties. I have put in my notice and am moving on. It is best for everyone, especially me.
