Don’t wait for everyone’s duties to be assigned out, because you might not get the work you want. If the data warehouse admin, the mail guy and the janitor all got laid off this week, go to your boss and volunteer for some of the data warehouse duties. It beats the other work, and it’ll be more rewarding when the economy picks back up.
