If you are given a task that you can’t do due to not knowing enough on the subject, weren’t trained to do and weren’t hired to do, it’s perfectly ethical to not do it with a proper explanation

Trust me many employers love to assign random tasks without extra training or release time given or extra pay provided. My place of employment does it all the time. They do it because they can get away with it and they know they can guilt you. I used to be guilted. I stopped as I got older. It’s been really bad last two years due to shortages in my field. Well I get it you don’t have extra people but why I am being punished for it.

He could fume. But it’s better him fuming than a client fuming over your writing that wouldn’t be 100%!competent! You know how to do your job. This isn’t your job.

Sure I can write research paper if I have to (and I am sure you can too), wrote for masters thesis and post graduate courses. But it was on the subject I knew! Not medical research and I was given time to do it. I’d not be writing research papers at work if it’s not my area of expertise and I wasn’t hired to do and am not paid extra. I am not a writer! Nothing to be guilty
about!

What was it? Fall prevention? Why would you know anything about it? Write this: “Don’t drink and stumble around drunk”. When asked why you wrote it, tell them that’s all you could think of on the subject matter!!!! 😂😂😂😂
