One of my main principles at work is that if something needs to be done, and you are available and capable of the task, then you do it.
"That's not my job" = fired
Applies top to bottom. I perform nursing, secretarial, custodial, IT, and maintenance tasks in some form or another every day, even though "it's not my job."
In fairness, a lot of companies encourage this behavior/way of thinking. If you tell a guy his job is to do X and his performance review is all about how well he does X, he's not going to do Y if doing Y prevents him from focusing on X.
I doubt that's what is going on here, but it happens a lot.

Before they bid out all their service work to private companies, The BR school board workers as a group were probably the most thieving & laziest group of workers you could ever imagine.

Sure. I get that. Division of labor, efficiency, and all.
There are 2 main situations in which the "it's not my job" mentality really grinds my gears:
1. The person is not otherwise engaged in meaningful work.
2. The task is quick and simple. For example, taking out the trash and putting a new bag in the container, rather than continuing to pile up garbage until the next cleaning shift.
