<h2 id="should-i-push-back-on-non-engineering-tasks-like-powerpoint-presentations">Should I push back on non-engineering tasks like PowerPoint presentations?</h2>

<p>From listener samspot: I am a Sr. Developer and I am often asked to spend time on PowerPoint
presentations for funding and other business stuff.  I want to ask why the managers, analysts,
etc can’t handle these tasks. I find them to be a frequent distraction from my actual
responsibilities, especially because these are so frequently “emergency” requests. Should I
push back on this work, or is it better to be a team player?</p>
