A real jerk of a boss will use your very human sense of responsibility to try and force you into undervaluing yourself. At times it seems ridiculous. But once you "take one for the team" and give your employer something for free, all they learn from that is that they can remain understaffed and now take advantage of you in perpetuity. If you ever find yourself doing your boss's job, remind yourself that it's not a favor. It's you covering up for their sheer incompetence. In the eyes of a giant faceless company, your graciousness, loyalty and skill will only ever be seen as a new free resource to be exploited.
With that in mind, here's an employee whose boss thought they could get away with not paying their employee the commensurate amount to act as a lead. The employee, seeing that this isn't the proper way to go about things, requested that a "qualified individual" complete the task, and things stalled. Sounds like the airline should have kept enough staff around to actually run their company.
