“That is not my job” can be a reasonable boundary. It can also be a way of walking past a problem that affects the shared outcome.
The useful distinction is not between amateurs and professionals. It is between respecting scope and hiding behind it.
When you notice a problem outside your formal responsibility:
- Act if you have the authority and competence.
- Alert the person who does if you do not.
- Make the handoff explicit.
A job description defines responsibility. It does not remove judgment.
