In this case, the boss just sees the employee as the assignment, regardless of whether it is your specialty or not. Or your boss assigns uncontrollable things and things you don't need to do. In this case, take the job you need to stay awake! Example: Your boss suddenly forces you to go get a list of goods, while you are busy stamping the goods. A nearby warehouse employee was sitting idle. At that point, you can turn the listing work on to a colleague. With the right person for the right job, everything will be resolved quickly and smoothly. In case no one is right for the job, and the boss is willing to ask you, you should consider asking for help if the job is beyond your understanding.
