Workers
View as MarkdownResponsibilities
The list of what a worker is trained for and accountable for. Requests outside the list are outside its job.
A worker's responsibilities are an enumerated list: the high-order things it is trained and proven capable of, and responsible for in its role. Once the list is saved, the worker treats a request that is not on it as outside its job, and says so.
The cards
On the worker's Overview tab, the first two cards are Responsibilities and Out of scope. Both come from one file in the worker's memory. A pencil icon opens an editor with Write and Preview; press Save and it reaches the worker on its next turn. If the worker edited the file while you had it open, control says so and offers Reload.
Drafted for you
When you create a worker, the wizard drafts a responsibilities list from the job title and your company chart. Edit it before you continue. If a worker's list is still empty, control can show a Proposed responsibilities card built from what the worker does today, with Save as the list and Reject.
How the list changes
You can edit it any time. The worker can also propose a change, in Slack, when it learns something about its job. It makes the change only after your explicit yes, and records a dated line under Changes in the file saying what changed and who agreed.
